Summary

Combines laboratory tests with CFD modelling, including buoyancy and radiative heat transfer, to assess how well a solar chimney ventilates a building. Ventilation performance and airflow both rose as the imposed heat flux (400–800 W/m²) and chimney height grew, and the simulated results matched the measurements closely.
