Several works on numerical simulation of thermal performance of single tower [2, 3, 4, 5, and 6] are reported in the literatures.
Zhai and Fu [7] used both wind tunnel experiment and CFD simulation approaches to investigate the performance of windbreak methods for two cooling towers in-tandem arrangement under windy conditions.
The aim of this study is to investigate, using a general-purpose CFD code, the effect of different crosswind velocities and directions on the thermal performance of three aligned NDDCT utilizing the standard k–ε turbulence model.
For grid study of the present simulation, three sets of grids were used and considering the results with maximum difference of one percent in the heat transfer, the case with 2,543,200 cells was selected for three aligned towers at the final simulation.

Three-dimensional numerical simulations have been carried out for a steady and turbulent flow.
Shu et al. [6] have developed a method to obtain the thermal characteristics of the double skin façade system using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, and evaluated the energy performance of the DSF system.
The numerical simulations were carried out for a three-dimensional, steady and turbulent flow.
Numerical simulations were performed with ANSYS Fluent® CFD commercial software.
For all simulations performed in this study, converged solutions were achieved with residuals as low as 10-5 (or less) for all the governing equations.
