5Timeline
There is evidence of human activity in
northeastern Africa since the Middle Pleistocene
Period. By the Middle and Upper Paleolithic,
between 90,000 to 10,000 years ago, there was a
gradual movement of hunter-gatherer populations
into the prehistoric Nile Valley and the drying
lake and savannah regions of the Eastern Sahara
precipitated by climatic changes. Traces of these
early peoples survive in the forms of stone tools
and rock carvings on the higher terraces along
the Nile (including the western Theban plateau)
and in the oases. As the nomadic hunter-gatherers
came to settle along the edges of the Nile
Valley, a transition to a settled lifestyle
dependent on agriculture took place.

17OUR GOAL
Our Task is to preserve the artifacts in the
tombs by removing excessive humidity and to
provide adequate amount of air at the conditions
in which for health humans the lungs, and
frequently the heart and lungs, are able to
sufficiently oxygenate the blood and body tissue.
Often, the ability to excrete CO2 as well.
18Introductory Scope and Motivation
Main Airflow characteristics in ventilated and
air-conditioned spaces play an important role to
attain comfort and hygiene conditions. This paper
utilizes a 3D time-dependent Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) model to assess the airflow
characteristics in different archeological tombs
in the Valley of the Kings. Still all the
factors and evaluation indices have the shortage
to describe the influence of the recirculation
zones on the occupancy zone and also on the fresh
supplied air. The model of evaluation should
assess the airflow characteristics in any
enclosure according to its position in the
enclosure and the expected utilization target
along its pass to the extraction.
Research Objectives In a serious attempt to
save the tombs of the Valley of the Kings and to
provide a unique climate in the tombs, the
present lecture aims at soliciting the interest
of International Experts and promote
collaboration joint research to best methods to
control the climate in these archeological tombs.
Scope of work includes recommendation of
technical procedures, equipment and controls to
achieve climate that is clean, does not enhance
the deterioration of organic and lnon-organic
materials in the tombs. Air conditioning versus
ventilation are to be considered. The extraction
intakes play an important role in the main flow
pattern and the creation of main recirculation
zones.
- The internal obstacles can offend the airflow
pattern by different ways, such as, by increasing
the recirculation zones or by deflecting the main
airflow pattern. - The primary objective of the present work is to
assess the airflow characteristics and energy
consumption in the different air-conditioned
configurations in view of basic known flow
characteristics.. Basically, different airside
designs are considered here including different
obstacle alternative positioning to introduce the
capability of each design to provide the optimum
characteristics. The full description of the
parameters used in the parametric cases is
discussed later.

Alexandria University and Library
The Alexandrian Library and Museum were founded,
and influential schools of philosophy, rhetoric,
and other branches of ancient learning were
established. During the early 3rd century BC, the
Alexandria Library had almost 500,000 volumes,
the largest collection of books in the ancient
world. However, the collection was destroyed over
several centuries. Under the Ptolemies, the city
became the literary and scientific center of the
ancient world.
This University and Library was founded early
3rd century BC.

Tombeau à l'ouest Description, O Burton - Site type TombDescription The entrance is cut
into the base of a hill at the end of the first
northwest branch wadi. This unfinished tomb
comprises an open entryway ramp (A), corridor B,
vaulted burial chamber J, and an unfinished
chamber (K) with a rear recess. The walls are
decorated with excerpts from the Book of Gates
(chamber K), Book of Caverns (corridor B), Book
of the Earth (burial chamber J), Opening of the
Mouth ritual (corridor B), and the deceased with
deities (corridor B, chamber K, burial chamber
J). The ceilings are painted with motifs of
flying vultures and astronomical figures. There
are 135 Greek, and several demotic, Coptic, and
nineteenth century graffiti in the tomb,
indicating that KV 1 has been accessible since
antiquity.
Site History At the time of the king's death in
his seventh regnal year, work on the tomb's third
corridor (now chamber K) was abandoned and the
second corridor was enlarged and became burial
chamber J. A break in the end of the granite pit
cover was made by robbers to gain access to the
burial. The tomb was used by Christian monks or
hermits as a dwelling. Dating This site was used

- Description
- KV 62, located in the main wadi, is the
most famous tomb in the world because of the
treasures it held intact for over three thousand
years. - The entryway A is cut into the floor of the
valley below the beginning of the entry ramp of
KV 9, the tomb of Rameses VI. - Even before the construction of KV 9,
debris had already been dumped on top of the KV
62 entrance. The tomb was forgotten and a group
of Rameside workmen's huts were built over it
later in antiquity. - A descending corridor (B) leads to a
rectangular chamber (I) with a side chamber (Ia).
The burial chamber J opens off the right (north)
end of chamber I with its floor level one meter
lower. Another side chamber (Ja), is located off
the right (east) wall of the burial chamber J.
Howard Carter believed that the four chambers of
KV 62, although small, relate directly to lower
parts of more traditional royal tomb plans. The
walls of the tomb were smoother but, except for
burial chamber J, were left undecorated. The
burial chamber J is decorated with scenes from
the Opening of the Mouth ritual, Imydwat, Book of
the Dead, and representations of the king with
various deities.

114Conclusions
- CFD Simulation is a powerful tool in the
prediction of general flow, thermal, and relative
humidity patterns. - Floor mount air grills can be used effectively if
put in proper locations. - Generally, mechanical extraction ventilation
systems provide better airflow pattern and
adequate thermal and humidity distribution inside
the tombs. - The allowed number of visitors inside a given
tomb should be restricted in order to maintain
recommended values of relative humidity.
115Future Activities
- This is an open invitation to collaborate in
saving such valuable tombs of the valley of the
Kings,Theba,Egypt - Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) is embarking
a massive restoration and rehabilitation
ambitious program ,with different International
and national support. - All efforts and scientific and engineering
experiences are welcomed to save such cultural
heritage . - Contact Prof.Dr.Essam E.Khalil at

- Refined grid systems
- User friendly
- Better modeling of physics turbulence, Humidity,
particles, pollution, etc - Greater accuracy of the numerical solution
122Components of a CFD Analysis
- Mathematical model TM, CRM, etc
- Discretization method FD, FV or FE
- Coordinates and vector system
- Grid regular or unstructured
- Finite approximations BSUD, etc
- Solution method GS, TDMA, etc
- Convergence criteria
123Properties of a CFD Analysis
- Consistency
- Stability
- Convergence
- Conservation
- Boundedness
- Realizability
- Accuracy modeling, discretization, convergence
124Compromises of a CFD Analysis
- Simplicity of the chosen approach
- Ease of implementation
- Accuracy of the approximation
- Computational efficiency of the solution
algorithm - The choice is changing as time progresses
125Computers Have Shrunk
- Speed and memory have increased
- Size and cost have reduced
- This PC used to fill a large room
- Capabilities have increased color, web, CD,
GUI, etc
126Consensus CFD is here to stay
- Computational, Analytical, and Experimental
studies go hand in hand - Will CFD Flow modeling ever replace wind tunnel
and/or real life experiments?
