Solar Chimney CFD Simulation

Dive into the complexities of buoyancy-driven flows in this specialized ANSYS Fluent CFD simulation training focused on solar chimneys. This module explores the physics of natural convection, teaching you how to accurately analyze and interpret the buoyancy effect that drives the performance of solar chimneys.

Key aspects covered: • Understanding the pre-configured solar chimney model • Implementing appropriate boundary conditions to capture buoyancy effects • Configuring ANSYS Fluent for natural convection simulations • Analyzing temperature distributions and velocity profiles • Investigating the impact of solar radiation on air flow patterns • Interpreting results to optimize chimney design for enhanced buoyancy-driven ventilation

Through guided simulations using pre-set models, you’ll gain practical skills in predicting and visualizing complex air movements caused by density differences. This training equips you with the expertise to analyze efficient solar chimney designs and apply buoyancy effect principles to various thermal management scenarios in sustainable building design.
