Abstract
The high-level water collection cooling tower has broad application prospects in the field of nuclear power, but the high crosswind environment will significantly reduce the flow and heat transfer performance of the high-level water collection natural ventilation wet cooling tower (HNDWCT). So a synergistic model of zoned water distribution and wind guiding structures is proposed in this paper. Numerical simulations were performed to compare and analyze the cooling tower’s flow and heat transfer characteristics in the synergistic and traditional models under a 0–10 m/s crosswind environment. The results show that the synergistic model increases the inlet air flow of the natural ventilation high-rise cooling tower by 7.8–46 %, reduces the standard deviation of the inlet air velocity by 0.22–0.81, and reduces the outlet water temperature by 0.32–3.51 K, which improves the cooling performance of the cooling tower.
