Mixed convection heat transfer in a ventilated high building is numerically studied by solving mixed convection equations with the Boussinesq approximation. The present investigation deals with velocity and temperature distribution in a high building divided into three stories; in which the left heated wall is vented by a fresh air stream introduced at various inlet openings and hot waste air exits from different outlet openings. Numerical solutions of the Navier Stokes equations and energy equation have been solved by the Thomas? algorithm. Solutions are presented for various geometrical aspect ratios and for different values of Grashof and Reynolds numbers. The results are presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms, velocity, and heat transfer versus the governing control parameters in detail.
