Abstract
Cooling tower performance is adversely affected by the recirculation of stack effluent back into the lower intake louvers. A unique method of numerically modeling cooling tower plume recirculation is described. The structure of the wake region behind the tower is resolved using the equations of hydrodynamics. The flow field within the tower is modeled as porous media flow. Interior and exterior flow fields are coupled by matching pressures and flow rates at the intake louvers.
