Numerical-Model Investigation of the Hydrothermal Regime of a Straight-Through Shallow Cooling Pond

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A mathematic model based on solution of hydrodynamics and heat-transfer equations by the finite-element method is constructed to predict the hydrothermal regime of a straight-through shallow cooling pond, which provides cooling circulating water to a repository of spent nuclear fuel. Numerical experiments made it possible to evaluate the influence exerted by wind conditions and flow rate of water in the river on the temperature of the circulating water.
