Numerical study on the cooling performance of dry cooling tower with vertical two-pass column radiators under crosswind

To study the cooling performance of a natural draft dry cooling tower with vertical two-pass column radiators (NDDCTV) under crosswind, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model was established for NDDCTV and validated by some published results. By the numerical model, the aerodynamic field around cooling columns was computed and analyzed at 4 m/s crosswind. It was found that the large inflow air deviation angle at delta entry induced large eddy...
