Summary
Numerical comparison of a single ventilated room in Merida, Mexico, with and without a roof-mounted solar chimney, using an in-house code coupling CFD with global energy balances under summer and winter conditions. Adding the chimney raised airflow by up to about 45% in summer and 25% in winter, supporting its use for passive ventilation in warm climates.
