Abstract

The results of performance of the airflow in the spaces with windows on one side (single- sided ventilation) measured by Anemometer and tested by CFD show that the air velocity indoor these spaces is about 0.0-0.01 m/s while the outside air velocity is 1-1.3 m/s, which means that there is poor ventilation for those spaces. In this study, the passive technique (Wing-wall) was upgraded and designed to induce the air indoor the spaces which exist in western elevation in Egypt in order to improve natural ventilation. In the CFD simulation, the windows area was installed at 12% of the total western wall area of the room with dimension of 4x4x3 m. The outside air velocity was 1.0 m/s and the temperature is 25ºC. The study shows that, after upgrading, the Wing- wall is capable of inducing the air inside the spaces.
