Summary

FLUENT simulations of a single solar chimney power plant design, modelled axisymmetrically with k-ε turbulence closure, compare its expected output at Constantine, Ouargla, Adrar and Tamanrasset in Algeria. The best monthly averages reach 68–73 kW across the year, while hourly generation in June climbs to roughly 109–113 kW.
