CFD analysis for solar chimney power plants [PDF]
Solar Energy, 2013 Abstract Solar chimney power plants are investigated numerically using ANSYS Fluent and an in-house developed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. Analytical scaling laws are verified by considering a large range of scales with tower heights between 1 m (sub-scale laboratory model) and 1000 m (largest envisioned plant). A model with approximately
