Summary

Computational fluid dynamics model of a full-scale 3D room with a solar chimney on its roof, solved with a low-Reynolds k-ε RANS approach, examining where the air intake should be placed. An intake high up across from the chimney maximises airflow, whereas one close to the floor sends more of the flow through the occupied lower zone.
