Summary
Numerical investigation of a solar chimney for a two-storey house, combining a sloped rooftop segment with an upright segment along the south façade. Airflow rises with overall chimney length and steeper slope, while width and the second-floor inlet angle each show an optimum, near a 12:1 length-to-width ratio and about 4°; making the upright part as long as building rules permit maximises flow.
