Dynamic physical model for a solar chimney Jaime Marti-Herrero; Maria del Rosario Heras Celemin A dynamic mathematical model of a solar chimney whose 24 cm concrete wall stores solar heat, assessed for night ventilation in Mediterranean climates. Unlike steady-state models, it accounts for unsteady behaviour and thermal inertia. The wall's temperature peaks about two hours after the ambient maximum and stays high into the evening, so airflow continues after sunset.

Summary
A dynamic mathematical model of a solar chimney whose 24 cm concrete wall stores solar heat, assessed for night ventilation in Mediterranean climates. Unlike steady-state models, it accounts for unsteady behaviour and thermal inertia. The wall's temperature peaks about two hours after the ambient maximum and stays high into the evening, so airflow continues after sunset.
