Influence of the collector concavity on the airflow behavoir within solar chimney power plant Haythem Nasraoui; Ahmed Ayadi; Abdallah Bouabidi; Zied Driss; Hedi Kchaou Two-dimensional steady CFD simulations of a solar chimney power plant examine how curving the collector roof, expressed as the ratio of roof curvature radius to collector radius, affects temperature, velocity, pressure and power output. Validated against measurements from a small prototype in Sfax, Tunisia, the results indicate that a concave collector improves overall plant performance.

Summary
Two-dimensional steady CFD simulations of a solar chimney power plant examine how curving the collector roof, expressed as the ratio of roof curvature radius to collector radius, affects temperature, velocity, pressure and power output. Validated against measurements from a small prototype in Sfax, Tunisia, the results indicate that a concave collector improves overall plant performance.
