Based on the heat and mass transfer theory and characteristics of the FLUENT software, a three-dimensional numerical simulation platform composed by user defined functions had been developed to simulate the thermal performance in a natural draft wet cooling tower. This platform was used to study a typical hyperbolic natural draft wet cooling tower with different fill types. The variations of the flow and temperature field in the cooling tower caused by the two different methods of fill were investigated. It is found that the outlet water temperature will decrease due to the non-uniform fill depth. The non-uniform fill depth is beneficial to increasing the efficiency of the cooling tower.
