“…Wang et al [6] used the CFD method to stimulate the principle of enhanced ventilation in NDDCTs under crosswind conditions. Abbasi et al [7] conducted a numerical analysis to research the influence of the height of the NDDCT deflector on its operation under various crosswind conditions. The findings showed that the wind-break deflector reduced the blockage effect of NDDCTs under crosswind conditions and improved the heat transfer capability between NDDCTs and air.…”

The natural draft dry cooling tower is a crucial equipment for thermal power plants in arid regions due to its water-saving capabilities and low energy consumption. However, crosswind conditions can significantly affect the operational performance of NDDCTs, making it crucial to understand their operation characteristics under such conditions. This study uses CFD simulation to analyze the operational properties of an NDDCT group with various crosswind conditions, examining key factors such as flow, temperature, velocity fields, and the interplay between towers. When the crosswind has an angle with the symmetry axis of the NDDCTs group, the NDDCTs have better performance. NDDCTs have the best performance when the angle is 30 °. The findings offer critical theoretical insights and data support for the design and optimization of NDDCT groups, with significant engineering and academic implications.
