Summary
Two-dimensional simulation of buoyancy-driven airflow and heat transfer in a solar chimney, treated as free convection in a channel formed by two vertical plates and solved with a finite-volume approach. Computed velocity and temperature distributions are given from entry to exit, with a grid-dependence check on the mean Nusselt number; initial runs indicate plausible predictions across several operating cases.
