Opposing-wind ventilation bistability
ID: opposing-wind-ventilation-bistability
For , the well-mixed ventilation temperature balance has one stable upward-flow temperature and two downward-flow temperatures. The heat-removal curve on the latter interval is , maximal at . Its lower-temperature root is stable and its higher-temperature root unstable. The two meet at a saddle-node bifurcation. The unstable root separates the basins of the stable wind-dominated and buoyancy-dominated states.
