[Heat Fluid Analysis Case] Airflow Analysis of Solar Panels

You can observe the flow passing through the bottom of the solar panel and the vortices formed on the back of the panel!

This article introduces a case study of airflow analysis around solar panels. We arranged solar panels measuring 10×3m in three rows and subjected them to a wind speed of 10 m/s from the front. The calculations were performed in a three-dimensional, steady-state, incompressible manner, with the computational domain set to a sufficiently large area around the panels. Additionally, in this sample model, only half of one side of the solar panel was modeled. By executing calculations with varying panel spacing and angles, we were able to investigate various patterns of airflow around the panels, confirming the flow passing beneath the solar panels and the vortices forming at the back of the panels.
