Abstract
Cooling tower drift deposition modeling has been extended by including the centrifugal force induced by plume bifurcation as a mechanism for droplet removal from the plume. The model is capable of predicting the trajectory of a single droplet from the stage of strong interaction with the vortex field soon after droplet emission at the tower top through the stage of droplet evaporation after breakaway from the plume. Applications showed the droplet to follow a helical trajectory within the plume, with breakaway and ground impact depending upon plume rise, ambient wind, evaporation and vortex strength.
