Investigation of Variants of Optimizing the Temperature Regimes of Nuclear Power Plant Cooling Ponds by Numerical Methods

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The results of numerical hydrothermal modeling of the temperature regimes pf the cooling ponds of the Rostov NPP and fifth unit of the Novovoronezh NPP are presented. The STREAM-3D software package is used in the study to calculate the three-dimensional fields of stratified flows and temperatures in a hydrostatic approximation. Variants of optimizing the thermal regimes that reduce the temperature at the NPP external cooling water intake system are proposed.
