Overview: This paper presents the first results of validation of CFD prediction of the cabin flow field in a segment of a 747 AERF. Agreement between the data and the simulation is good, hence represents the first steps towards development of a CFD system to quantitatively study contaminant distribution and assist in testing optimal responses to an attack on various airframes. The release of a chemical weapon has been the focus of work to date, but CFD is ultimately applicable to predicting the distribution of other entities through the aircraft environmental control system (ECS) such as biological, nuclear, or other toxic agents.
