Summary

Computational fluid dynamics was used to model a vertical solar chimney attached to a single-storey room, testing how ventilation flow responds to solar radiation levels of 100 to 500 W/m². Flow increased as radiation rose, and the highest level gave about 660 m³/h, or roughly 6 air changes per hour.
