the stove is start at 1 meter above the room floor so I am thinking about something beneath it, like a J with the riser enter throe the stove floor.

I can't see your skp, but a batch under that thing should do just fine, as long as the oven isn't gigantic.

and if it is gigantic?

Two of them! Or an 8", which takes a huge load of fuel. You might struggle with riser height, but there's no reason it can't extend into the oven a bit.

you mean instead the regular fire inside the oven or together with it? and what the location? it's a big barrel type bricks oven

With a fire in the oven, without, depending on how hot how fast and what flavor. If it's a barrel vault I'd probably put it opposite the chimney.

you say at the rear. under the highest spot of the arc (middle), or at the corner?

Dang man, uh..........depends on the goal I suppose. I think corner will promote more of a swirl through the oven while peak will still swirl but I imagine the low corners of the arch will be calmer/cooler/deader.
Full disclaimer: I don't know but it's fun to think about!

another subject, continue rely on the chimney above the door or to make new chimney from low spot and seal the door to have a bell effect?

I'd probably build the engine and start by trying a removable insert in the existing chimney. Try it with and without and see if there is a big difference in oven temps or heating time/fuel needs.

I couldn't pull up the sketchup file because I have an older version.
You want to be careful of the entry and exit locations of the gases and how close together they are. The point of cooking in a dome is radiant heat. You want to get the roof surface temperature hot. You also want to think about what is going to happen when you open the door. I prefer the flue being above the door.
But, try it and see which way you like it.
