Effect of the turbulence model on the simulation of the air flow in a solar chimney

Summary

Compares five turbulence models in Ansys-Fluent CFD simulations of airflow inside a solar chimney power plant, examining velocity, temperature, pressure and turbulence fields. The predicted flow depends directly on the chosen model, and experimental data from the literature are used to identify the most suitable one.
