Abstract
The paper presents a numerical study of the discharged heat water effect on the aquatic environment from the thermal power plant by using two water discharged pipes. It is solved by the Navier–Stokes and temperature transport equations for an incompressible fluid in a stratified medium. The aim of this study is to improve the existing water discharge system to reduce the heat load on the reservoir-cooler of the thermal power plants operation (Ekibastuz SDPP-1). In this study thermal pollution to the reservoir-cooler using only two water discharged pipes as so using the existing one and building only one additional in the eastern part of the reservoir-cooler is numerically simulated. The numerical method is based on the projection method which was approximated by the finite volume method. The numerical solution of the equation system is divided into four stages. The algorithm is parallelized on a high-performance computer. The obtained numerical results of three-dimensional stratified turbulent flow for two water discharged pipes of the thermal power plant were compared with experimental data and with numerical results for one water discharged pipe. General thermal load in the reservoir-cooler decreases comparing one water discharged pipe and revealed qualitatively and quantitatively approximately the basic laws of hydrothermal processes occurring in the reservoir-cooler can be seen that from numerical simulations where two water discharged pipes were used.
