    The chimney junction of a Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) is the main element connecting the solar collector to the chimney, significantly impacting the SCPP design by altering the airflow direction. This study utilized the numerical code "Ansys Fluent" to investigate how the chimney junction radius affects local airflow characteristics. The results showed that the local airflow characteristics and therefore the SCPP efficiency were significantly impacted by changes in junction radius. Additionally, the influence of these parameters on air turbulence in the transition zone was analyzed. The results demonstrated that changes in the junction radius significantly impacted local airflow characteristics and, consequently, the efficiency of the SCPP. Furthermore, the maximum velocity inside the chimney varied and shifted its location with changes in the junction radius. These factors directly affect the overall turbine performance, influencing both structure and power capacity
