Summary
Literature review of numerical thermal models for building solar chimneys, with and without phase change materials, comparing CFD and global energy balance approaches. CFD gives detailed heat-transfer insight but transient runs are computationally costly, while energy-balance models are fast enough for building simulation tools; transient PCM models remain rare, and PCM-equipped chimneys can sustain ventilation into the evening and night.
