Abstract
The well-known case of a simple naturally ventilated
building with two openings, uniform internal temperature and opposing wind
and buoyancy forces is re-visited. In particular, it is shown that the
effect of wind turbulence can play a deciding role on whether or not
multiple solutions occur. It is also argued that in practice the number of
possible solutions is three rather than two.
Key words: natural
ventilation, multiple solutions, wind, buoyancy.
