CFD analysis of the impact of air gap width on Trombe wall performance
Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 4598-4612, October 2024.Abstract In recent years, there has been a lot of research and debate on how solar energy can be used instead of conventional sources of heating to power residential heating. In this study, the Trombe wall (TW) technique, based on natural convection and energy storage, was examined to predict mass flow rate, temperature field, and velocity field for ...

Simulation of a full scale Trombe wall system [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, 2012 Two dimensional transient modelling of the flow and heat transfer in an idealized Trombe wall system was performed for a fixed set of physical dimensions. The governing equations were solved using multiphysics software. Buoyancy and thermal accumulation in a brick wall are the main effects considered.

Selective Internal Heat Distribution in Modified Trombe Wall
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2017 At present, the requirements for thermal insulation of the external walls in buildings are being increased. There is a need to reduce energy consumption for heating rooms during the winter season. This may be achieved by increasing the thermal resistance of the outer partitions, using solutions that utilize either recuperation or solar radiation.
