Airflow dynamics greatly influence indoor comfort in urban homes with windcatchers, enhancing overall energy efficiency.
Using computational fluid dynamics, the study revealed significant changes in mass flow rate and pressure differential across two inlet cases.
Evaluations showed higher outlet velocities in top-side inlets compared to lateral inlets, impacting temperature and humidity distributions.
Findings call for architects and engineers to integrate sophisticated sustainable designs into future building projects.
