Context

No existing example demonstrated ventilation system analysis with multiple inlets and exhaust fans for indoor air quality applications.

Change Summary

Added ventilation_workflow.py example simulating airflow in a mechanically ventilated poultry house with 32 inlet vents and 6 exhaust fans. Includes k-epsilon turbulence model, SIMPLEC solver, pathline/contour visualizations, and quantitative velocity analysis. Added 3 supporting images.

Rationale

Provides users with a practical reference for HVAC/ventilation CFD workflows using PyFluent

Impact

additive, no modifications to existing code

The example tries to follow the provided guidelines with #4378 and uses the new API implementation.

Thanks.
