Summary

Three-dimensional CFD simulations with a k-ε turbulence model examine a 4 m tall, slightly converging solar chimney built into a south-facing building façade, under daily solar irradiance in both steady and transient regimes. Higher heat flux and the sun facing the chimney improve performance, low-emissivity glazing helps further, and transient runs agree with steady-state predictions.
