Computational Analysis of Natural Ventilation Flows in Geodesic Dome Building in Hot Climates

For centuries, dome roofs were used in traditional houses in hot regions such as the Middle East and Mediterranean basin due to its thermal advantages, structural benefits and availability of construction materials. This article presents the computational modelling of the wind- and buoyancy-induced...
