Since there is natural driven ventilation resulting from the difference in temperature inside the buildings hence flows inside buildings fall under buoyancy force category. The momentum equation in the direction of gravity should be modeled for buoyant forces resulting from buoyancy. [1] Hence the momentum equation is given by
