Summary
Computational investigation of buoyancy-driven natural ventilation through a full-scale three-dimensional room with a roof-mounted solar chimney, using finite-volume large-eddy simulation with a Smagorinsky subgrid model and the Boussinesq approximation. Results were checked against a Reynolds-averaged (RANS) model, and the close match between the two approaches supports the reliability of the CFD predictions.
