Summary

Two-dimensional axisymmetric CFD simulations of three solar chimney power plant designs, based on the Manzanares prototype geometry and using RNG k–ε turbulence with discrete-ordinates radiation, assess possible sites at Constantine and Tamanrasset. Designs with secondary and tertiary collector roofs give the most power, output over the year ranges from about 51 to 79 kW, and Tamanrasset performs best.
