Therefore, a practical solution such as using renewable energy sources can be considered to reduce energy costs and pollutants. In addition, architecture principles must be varied to utilize passive solar energy and also to reduce energy losses. In this research, a numerical study is presented to investigate the thermal behavior of TW-FR (Trombe wall placed in a fenestrated room) in the semiarid region of Tunisia. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer shows good agreement with published data in literature. The thermal comfort level was calculated according to ASHRAE (55-2013). The results show that (i) the normal Trombe wall cannot assure a satisfactory comfort level even in summer conditions and a higher vertical temperature gradient can take a value of 15\u00b0C, and the Trombe wall is shown to be more efficient in heating mode in the studied semi-arid region compared to cooling; (ii) the operative temperature for the coldest winter is between 17.85 and 19.85\u00b0C. The air temperature gradient in the comfort ranges between the head and feet is 2.3\u00b0C; and (iii) the Trombe wall is an excellent solution for Sousse city weather; it is suggested that the passive system (TW-FR) will be examined for a whole year to have a precise evaluation of its efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6630140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]],"date-time":"2021-03-02T01:50:07Z","timestamp":1614649807000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Numerical Study on the Thermal Performance of Trombe Wall for Passive Solar Building in Semiarid Climate"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6355-6087","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Maher","family":"Dhahri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher Institute of Agricultural Sciences of Chott Mariem, University of Sousse, BP No. 47, 4042 Sousse, Tunisia"},{"name":"Laboratory of Energy and Materials (LabEM) (LR11ES34), High School of Sciences and Technology of Hammam Sousse, Sousse University, BP, 4011 Hammam Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9864-8152","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nima","family":"Khalilpoor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy Engineering, Graduate School of the Environment and Energy, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hana","family":"Aouinet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher Private School of Engineering and Applied Techniques (IHE-ESPITA), Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1937-8615","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alibek","family":"Issakhov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Department of Mathematical and Computer Modelling, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Habib","family":"Sammouda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Energy and Materials (LabEM) (LR11ES34), High School of Sciences and Technology of Hammam Sousse, Sousse University, BP, 4011 Hammam Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sampath","family":"Emani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Bandar Seri Iskandar, Perak D.R., Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ijlct\/ctaa084"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/er.4778"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ese3.239"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ese3.381"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/8817440"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/19942060.2020.1734094"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/en12101916"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ijlct\/cty026"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203021729","volume-title":"Dictionary of Energy Efficiency Technologies","author":"M.
