<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%">I’m trying to model a ventilated façade characterized by a forced
convection regime using Esp-r (version 12.0 for Windows 7) for my thesis. The
model is composed by one single room, and the external facades are ventilated
opaque walls. The ventilated façade is composed by three thermal zones, with
the aim to obtain the vertical temperature distribution. In order to reach
reasonable results, I tried to impose the Fisher and Pedersen correlation for
mechanically driven flows both in the room and in the ventilated façades.
However, when I run the simulation, a numerical error stops any module. The
following text is the error displayed by the simulator:</span></p>
