Summary

Numerical simulations with the open-source Code_Saturne and Syrthes solvers compare four solar chimney power plant layouts for southern Algeria, combining ground storage or ground plus water-filled tubes under the collector with either a standard or a diffuser-shaped collector–chimney junction. Entropy generation rates computed from the velocity and temperature fields are used to identify the configuration with the lowest losses.
