Implementation and validation of a bulk microphysical model of moisture transport in a pressure based CFD solver

摘要

We study wet cooling tower plume formation involving mesoscale meteorological effects (such as stratification or compressibility). This was achieved by incorporating transformations and volume source terms into a pressure based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver (ANSYS-FLUENT). Moisture dynamics is taken into account with a bulk microphysical model that was recently implemented into the solver.
