That study demonstrated the capability of CFD to predict buoyancy-driven displacement natural ventilation flows in a single-storey space connected to an atrium. The CFD simulations were carried out with and without ventilation openings at the bottom of the atrium. The predictions agreed well with the analytical models and the experiments.
