Summary
CFD simulations of a solar chimney mounted on a building wall, where solar heat enters the air gap from both sides instead of only one. Depending on channel gap width and how heat is split between the two surfaces, the Nusselt number, airflow rate and temperature rise may increase, decrease or stay the same, indicating design conditions that maximise flow or heating.
