Summary
Three-dimensional CFD simulations of several hundred solar chimney power plant geometries, varying chimney height, chimney radius and collector radius, with solar input set from site coordinates and date instead of an imposed ground heat flux. The best-performing combination produced roughly 731 kW at an efficiency of about 3.3%.
