Summary

CFD analysis, validated against published measurements, of four absorber wall corner shapes (flat, rounded, triangular, trapezoidal) in channel-type solar chimneys for natural building ventilation, using energy and exergy assessment across solar intensities. The triangular corner gives the highest efficiency, about 50% above the trapezoidal design at 480 W/m², and boosts airflow.
