CFD modeling of natural ventilation in a void connected to the living units of multi-storey housing for thermal comfort

The void has been widely used in the multi-storey housing to induce natural ventilation in the living units for health and thermal comfort purposes. This research investigates the provision of the void to enhance natural ventilation performance in the living units of multi-storey housing. Malaysian...
