| Summary: | Buildings are complex systems composed of several elements, which are assembled to respond to a number of needs functional and symbolic according to set of legal and environmental requirements and potentially accommodate users with different levels of demand. Predicting the conception of the external wall is beneficial in the design of house and building structures.in this study, an analogy was used for the functions which are discretized by the finite difference method and integrated in the CFD code which is based on the finite volume method. The CFD software is used as a technique to modelling the behaviour of fluid and the thermal convection in the external wall of the house with different Rayleigh numbers [103≤ Ra ≤105]. In the second phase, we change the thickness of the wall several times and calculate the Nusselt number and exchange coefficient of heat transfer aims to find a cloud point respectively for the thicknesses e = 0, L /40, L /20 and L /10. After, we developed a relationship that helps us to know the exchange ratio for each thickness ( e ) belongs to the interval [0, L /10] by the Lagrange polynomial interpolation method for Rayleigh number equal 104 , and then we developed a FORTRAN program to control the nonlinear equation of order three. This method for predicting exchange coefficient of convection for to optimize the design of walls in buildings.
