Summary
Combines full-scale model measurements with a finite-difference dynamic model to examine how a sun-heated cavity with dampers, which stores heat during the day and is opened in the evening, can drive cooling ventilation in houses in southern Algeria. The airflow depends on cavity width and inlet size, and with suitable values these cavities can induce air movement and improve thermal comfort.
