CFD Analysis of Different Ventilation Strategies for a Room with a Heated Wall

Solar chimneys can help to reduce solar heat gain on a building envelope and enhance natural ventilation. In this work, we proposed three configurations of two combined with heated wall for the ventilation room: (I) are connected serially, (II) parallel exhaust air at separate outlets, (III) parallel, but outlets combined. The airflow rate achieved each configuration was predicted Computational Fluid Dynamics model. results show effects flux in channel geometries channels. Configuration shows highest flow rate. Particularly, significantly up 40% when compared typical setup single chimney. findings offer novel design option façades reducing enhancing
