Numerical Modeling of Buoyancy-driven Natural Ventilation in a Simple Three Storey Atrium Building Shafqat Hussain and Patrick H. Oosthuizen Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6 Email: oosthuiz@me.queensu.ca need to reduce energy consumption in buildings has ABSTRACT developed interest to explore energy-efficient natural A simple three storey atrium building was designed ventilation strategies. Wind field is thought to be the to investigate numerically the development of main source to provide driving force for the natural buoyancy-driven natural ventilation airflows and ventilation but in the absence of an external wind temperature distributions induced by solar radiation field, the alternative is to explore the use of stack and heat sources present on each floor of the pressure as the natural force to drive a ventilation building. The ventilated space is warmed by heat flow. Stack pressure is the pressure difference gains from the solar radiation and other heat sources, between the interior and exterior of the building as a result buoyant plumes are generated that entrain which can be created naturally by density the surrounding air and transport warm air upwards, differences caused by warm air generated in
