Turbulent mixed convection in two generic configurations, the geometry of which was deduced from a passenger cabin and a sleeping bunk of a modem long distance passenger aircraft, has been investigated numerically by means of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations. In the same configurations Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements were conducted to validate the numerical results. The performed comparison indicates that results obtained using RANS with low Reynolds number turbulence models agree considerably better with experimental data than those of RANS with high Reynolds number turbulence models.
