In this study, the authors develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to design a passive direct air capture (PDAC) system with an effective wind catcher (a historical architectural element) to passively direct ambient wind into a sorbent-coated monolith, thereby bypassing the need for energy-intensive mechanical fans.
