The effect of wind towers on dwelling’s aeraulic comfort.

Abstract

Many researches erupt to deal between energy consumption, building geometry, passive strategies and indoor thermal comfort. In this regard, we attempt over this study to reveal the effect of wind towers and their geometrical parameters on dwelling’s aeraulic comfort. Therefore, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation has been done through this research. The modelling simulation has been done by using Phoenix software. The investigation was conducted during summer time in hot arid climate (Touggort). The results of this study show that wind towers can mitigate indoor aeraulic thermal comfort. The output of this investigation also demonstrate that the geometrical parameters of wind towers have a crucial effect on air-cooling and aeraulic comfort.
