Summary

Numerical simulations and a theoretical model are used to examine how a wall-mounted and a roof-mounted solar chimney interact when installed together in one building. Coupling with the roof chimney generally improves wall-chimney ventilation, while window size mainly affects the roof unit; a proposed airflow-split coefficient lets the model reproduce the simulated flow rates well.
