Multi-scale modular analysis of open volumetric receivers for central tower Concentrated Solar Power systems

A multiscale numerical approach is applied to an open volumetric air receiver. A 3D CFD study at the micro-scale (single channel) feeds the meso-scale model. he macro-scale model is a lumped-parameter model of the full receiver. The results from the receiver model are compared with the SolAir200 experiment. Effect of the ARR and heat flux …
