Summary
Finite-volume simulations with a turbulence model, checked against experimental data, compare a solar chimney that has two air channels with a single-channel design. The comparison covers a summer day in three Mexican climates. The two-channel chimney draws roughly 50% more airflow and gives 52 to 63 air changes over the day, depending on the city.
