Summary
Steady turbulent CFD models of a room ventilated by solar chimney draft, with intake air pre-cooled through buried earth-air ducts, compare positions of the wall opening. A low opening chills incoming air by about 7 °C and keeps indoor conditions uniform near 20 °C, while a high one improves occupant comfort and circulation. Every layout cools and ventilates acceptably for summer use in southern Turkey.
