Air Exchange
 

Imagine you have a structure on open ground. The structure (say some cubical or cylindrical room) has vents, openings, windows etc). When wind blows on the outside there is air exchange between the the room and the outside. The wind forms pressure gradient as it flows over the structure and this pressure gradient is mainly responsible for this air exchange. Is anyone here aware of any publications, articles about this phenomenon?
