Summary
Unsteady airflow in a solar chimney power plant is modelled with conservation and transport equations solved by finite volumes in generalized coordinates, validated against prototype measurements, then used to simulate other geometries and operating conditions. Tower height and diameter emerge as the design variables with the greatest influence on chimney performance.
