Summary
Doctoral work on a window-sized solar chimney whose absorber is replaced by a water wall, assessed for Sydney's mild winter through theoretical models and numerical simulation. The design sustains ventilation day and night while slowing nighttime room cooling, with glass thickness proving most influential. Direct numerical simulations then examine instabilities in coupled air–water thermal boundary layers in a dual-chamber cavity.
