Abstract
This study presents an integral model for the simulation of the environmental effects produced by wet plumes released by cooling towers associated to large power plants. The environmental impact is evaluated in terms of the increase in the relative humidity at ground level and of the reduction of solar radiation due to the shade projected onto the ground by the visible plume. The paper discusses the parametrization of the model and its application to simulate the consequences of the introduction of a cooling tower in an area characterized by a regime of weak winds. Results are presented in terms of statistics of the plume behaviour over a period of four years.
