Summary
Simulations of a small solar chimney power plant compare four collector roof angles between −1.5° and 1°, examining velocity, temperature, pressure, incident radiation and turbulence fields. The best geometry is chosen by peak air velocity, and a negative roof angle gives faster airflow inside the plant.
