Journal Article
Ji, Y., Cook, M., & Hanby, V. (2007). CFD modelling of natural displacement ventilation in an enclosure connected to an atrium. Building and Environment, 42(3), 1158-1172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2005.11.002

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to investigate buoyancy-driven natural ventilation flows in a single-storey space connected to an atrium. The atrium is taller than the ventilated space and is warmed by heat gains inside the single-storey s...
