Abstract〖WT5”FZ〗 〓The effects of cross wind on the flow f ield in natural\|draft dry\|cooling towers are studied experimentally in a wind tunnel using similarity principles. Particular attention is focused on the flow fields inside the tower. The study illustrates the influence of wind on the cool ing tower performance and proposes a number of techniques for improving tower pe rformance with a cross\|wind
