Summary
Three-dimensional simulations, validated against published experimental data, examine air velocity and temperature fields in a small prototype solar chimney power plant whose chimney runs up a slope. Steady flow proves a reasonable assumption under strong morning-to-noon irradiance; peak velocity, about 2.7 m/s at 800 W/m², occurs at the chimney inlet and falls to about 2.1 m/s with a shorter chimney.
