Abstract
Cooling performance of a natural draft dry cooling tower degrades in presence of crosswind. Upon an in service natural draft dry cooling tower of a 660 MW unit in China, a computational fluid dynamics approach with validation is adopted to investigate the cooling performance at various wind speeds. The first order viscous force based resistance mechanism is used in simulating the air flow resistance for the radiators. Numerical results confirm...
