Based on similarity theory, this research details a thermal-state model experiment, concerning the evolution of the air/water temperature profiles inside a Natural Draft Wet Cooling Tower (NDWCT) under windless and crosswind conditions. Prior studies have shown that the air/water temperature distrib...
