\subsection{Delamination of layers}

\label{info:surf_delamination}

Delamination (fall-off) of material layers can occur e.g. in glued materials, such as Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT). Two different criteria can be used to enforce a delamination of \ct{SURF} layers: \ct{DELAMINATION\_TMP(NL)} sets the temperature criterion; if the last cell of the layer \ct{NL} exceeds this temperature, all layers from the first to \ct{NL}'th (of this particular wall cell) will be removed. Their mass will simply disappear from the computation, and the following layer will befome the surface of the wall. Similarly, specifying \ct{DELAMINATION\_DENSITY(NL)} will remove the layers 1 to \ct{NL} if the density of the \ct{NL}th layer's last cell decreases below the threshold.

\item \ct{TYPE_ID} is a character string that indicates the type of component that the namelist group is defining. \ct{TYPE_ID} can be \ct{DUCT}, \ct{NODE}, \ct{FAN}, \ct{FILTER}, \ct{AIRCOIL}, or \ct{LEAK} (see ~Sec.~\ref{info:local_leakage}).

\item \ct{ID} is a character string giving a name to the component. The name must be unique amongst all other components of that type; however, the same name can be given to components of different types (i.e., a duct and a node can have the same name but two ducts cannot).

A number of examples of simple HVAC systems are given in the HVAC folder of the sample cases and are discussed in the FDS Verification Guide.
\item \ct{AMBIENT} is a logical value. If \ct{T}, then the node is connected to the ambient (i.e., it is equivalent to the \ct{OPEN} boundary condition on a \ct{SURF} line).
3806
3808
\item \ct{DUCT_ID} gives the \ct{ID}s of the ducts connected to the node. Only one duct is allowed if the node is \ct{AMBIENT} or has a \ct{VENT_ID}. Up to 10 ducts can be connected to a node.
3807
3809
\item \ct{FILTER_ID} gives the \ct{ID} a filter located at the node. A node with a filter must have two connected ducts. This means a filter cannot be located at an ambient node, a node that is attached to a \ct{VENT}, or node with three or more ducts.
3810
+
\item \ct{GEOM} Indicates the node is attached to an unstructured geometry object (Section~\ref{info:hvac_geom}).
3808
3811
\item \ct{LOSS} is an $n$ by $n$ array of real numbers giving the dimensionless loss coefficients for the node. \ct{LOSS(I,J)} is the loss coefficient for flow from duct \ct{I} to duct \ct{J} expressed in terms of the downstream duct area (see discussion in ~\ref{info:HVACduct} on how to adjust losses for area changes). For a terminal node (e.g., a node connected to the ambient or to a \ct{VENT}) the \ct{LOSS} is entered as a pair of numbers representing loss coefficient for flow entering the HVAC system and for flow exiting the HVAC system.
3809
3812
\item \ct{NETWORK_ID} Used for Smokeview visualization. All ducts and nodes with a common \ct{NETWORK_ID} can be selected or deselected as a group in Smokeview. If no value is given, the node will be placed in the Unassigned network.
3810
3813
\item \ct{VENT_ID} is the name of the \ct{VENT} where the node connects to the FDS computational domain. No two \ct{VENTs} should be defined with the same \ct{VENT_ID}.
Note that a \ct{VENT} being used for an HVAC system must be present throughout the simulation. The \ct{VENT} should not have a \ct{CTRL_ID} or \ct{DEVC_ID}. This also includes the solid surface it is attached; i.e., any \ct{OBST} the \ct{VENT} is attached to also needs to be present throughout the simulation. Turning on or off a \ct{VENT} connected to an HVAC system, requires a damper in the duct connected to \ct{VENT}.

The pressure zone and physical presence restrictions also apply to \ct{GEOM} being used for an HVAC system.
