Summary
Using CFD simulations in FloVent, checked against field measurements on an existing house, the work tests solar chimney geometries for passive stack ventilation of a single-storey terraced house under Malaysian tropical conditions. A 3.5 m tall chimney with a 3 × 1 m cross-section kept air moving continuously, reaching up to about 0.6 m/s.
