NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS ON THE AVALIABLE POWER IN A SOLAR CHIMNEY Rodrigo Spotorno Vieira; Christopher Garcia; I. C.

Summary
Two-dimensional axisymmetric CFD simulations (FLUENT, k–ε turbulence) of a solar chimney power plant examine how collector inlet height and chimney outlet diameter affect available power. The model agrees with published results; inlet height has almost no effect, whereas an intermediate outlet diameter of 0.44 m maximises power, giving roughly 72% more than the smallest diameter tested.
