Summary

Three-dimensional CFD simulations in Ansys Fluent with a k-ε turbulence model examine a 4 m tall prototype solar chimney integrated into a building's south facade, comparing parallel-wall and convergent channels. The influence of chimney height and gap width is assessed, along with how accounting for radiation changes wall temperatures and airflow velocity and temperature fields under a uniform 300 W/m² wall heat flux.
