Impact of Wind on a Newly Designed Solar Chimney with Multiple Openings for Building Ventilation Prince Adolphus Juah; Mohamed Emam; Sameh Nabil Khalil Nada; Hamdy Abo Ali Hassan Airflow through a new multi-opening solar chimney is compared in still air and under wind, for three opening arrangements. In still air, leaving the top open performs best, near 0.08 m3/s, while closing the top or opening the sides cuts the flow sharply. Wind boosts every arrangement, with flow climbing to roughly 0.56 m3/s when the breeze reaches 5 m/s.

Summary
Airflow through a new multi-opening solar chimney is compared in still air and under wind, for three opening arrangements. In still air, leaving the top open performs best, near 0.08 m³/s, while closing the top or opening the sides cuts the flow sharply. Wind boosts every arrangement, with flow climbing to roughly 0.56 m³/s when the breeze reaches 5 m/s.
