A review on wind driven ventilation techniques
TLDR
In this paper, the two fundamental principles of natural ventilation are stack effect and wind driven ventilation, and a distinction is made between specific types of wind-driven ventilation techniques depending on their operation and mode of engagement with the wind.About:
