Summary

Theoretical and CFD analysis of solar chimneys serving multi-storey atrium buildings with several air inlets. A suitably designed chimney meets the WHO target of 6 air changes per hour even at 200 W/m² of sunlight, with airflow rising as a power function of cavity gap, cavity height, radiation and window width. An experimentally validated model predicts the ventilation rate.
