Abstract
Solar Updraft Towers - giga-towers of 1 km in height or even more in Solar Updraft Power Plants (SUPPs) - were first introduced at the last EACWE in 2009 (Niemann et al., 2009). Since then, an extensive wind tunnel investigation has been performed at WiSt laboratory at Ruhr-University Bochum and at Criaciv laboratory (University of Florence). On the basis of the experiments, CFD simulations are currently on-going. Relevant features for the design of ultra-high cylindrical towers emerged throughout the whole investigation: a new aerodynamic phenomenon and its effects are discussed in the paper.
