Summary
Simulation work on a small rooftop solar chimney meant to drive a vertical axis wind turbine, for a site at mid latitudes. Tilting the absorber about 30° from horizontal gave the best results. Reaching the airflow needed by a 1 m rotor called for a larger chimney, with a final radius of roughly 4 m.
