Finite Element Modelling of a Parabolic Trough Collector for Concentrated Solar Power

Finite Element Modelling of a Parabolic Trough Collector for Concentrated Solar Power

Nowadays the design of large-scale structures can be effectively improved by the adoption of numerical models. Even if experimental tests still play a fundamental role, a methodological approach that combines experimental testing and modelling technique can significantly improve the understanding of...
