Summary
Three-dimensional CFD simulations of a solar chimney power plant are used to test internal and external geometry modifications aimed at reaching the optimal pressure drop across the turbine and maximising electricity output. The best-performing shapes for given heat input are identified, and the model is checked against airflow measurements from the Manzanares prototype in Spain.
