Summary

Steady-state k-epsilon CFD modelling of a small prototype solar chimney in Al Ain, with an 8.25 m tower and a 100 m² collector, used to choose where to place the turbine. The narrow chimney creates a dead zone in the collector that limits airflow, while adding a nozzle at the chimney inlet markedly cuts pressure losses.
