containment shell 2-5m, so the drift discharged from the
cooling could condense into water droplets, which may have
some effects on the radioactive pollutants discharged from
chimney, moreover, wind direction under the cooling tower
could make the drift changed into the precipitation, also in
winter, ice can be formed on the ground,which lead to wet
deposition of radionuclides, then increased the risk because of
external exposure in the near field, so cooling tower has a
great effect on the short-term radioactive pollutants within the
distance of a few hundred meters from the nuclear power
plant; rise drift in the air can cause some changes of local
climate, also increase the formation of fog and change the
flow pattern in low wind speed. With the Earth's gravitation,
the droplets contained in drift of cooling tower may be distant
from the visible plume, the migration and diffusive law of
droplet mainly depends on the relationship between gravity
and buoyancy of droplet, which prove that Numerical
simulation or wind tunnel test could be used for physical
simulation and prediction of migration and diffusive law of
drift from [2].
Compared with the physical simulation and field test,
numerical simulation has several advantages: (1) low cost,
short cycle; (2) no interference from test equipment; (3)
complete data can be obtained; (4) the calculating results
can be reproduced on the computer screen.
