The Effect of Wind Speed on Cooling Tower Plume Dispersion

Abstract:

Wind speed was an important impact factor when simulating the cooling tower plume dispersion. The SACTI model was selected in this paper and this model was used to predict the plume dispersion character discharging from cooling tower under normal operation and three different kinds of wind speeds. The three kinds of wind speeds were 2 m/s, 4 m/s and 6 m/s and it was analyzed that the plume character under these three wind speeds. Results showed that the plume length, plume height and plume radius will present different change trend when wind speed changed.
