Abstract

Based on the heat and mass transfer theory and characteristics of the CFD software, a three-dimensional numerical simulation platform had been developed to study the thermal performance in a natural draft wet cooling tower. This platform was validated using the measured results of a running cooling tower. The flow and temperature field in the cooling tower were investigated. It is found that the water temperature and flow field can be correctly calculated using this platform. The cooling efficiency could be improved due to non-uniform fill and water distribution methods.
