Physical and numerical modelling of a solar chimney-based ventilation system for buildings Giovanni Sebastiano Barozzi; M.S. Imbabi; Enrico Nobile; Antonio C.M. Sousa Combines laboratory tests and computer simulation to assess how a roof working as a solar chimney can cool a Nigerian bioclimatic house prototype by pulling air through its rooms. Data from a 1:12 reduced replica served to check a 2D finite-volume model of steady airflow and heat transfer; computed and observed thermal and airflow patterns matched closely for two window layouts.
