I am looking for methods to quantify the chimney effect and examples
of its use - preferably with measurements.

The principle in the chimney effect (btw I am sure if this
expression is understood everywhere) is based on the fact that
heating air by solar power will make it hotter and less density
will follow. If the heated air is in a channel (chimney) it
will raise and draw cool air in at the bottom of the channel.
In short: The chimney effect can be used to move air by solar power.

Suggestions and info welcomed
