Abstract

Abstract: This paper conducts an analysis study on indoor thermal environment of a steam turbine room in power plant by CFD. Refer to a typical steam turbine room in an actual thermal power plant which has been conducted field test, the typical numerical simulation model is built including a reasonable indoor heat conditions, structural parameters and envelope architectural opening, flow boundary conditions. Indoor air temperature distribution and air velocity distribution of steam turbine room is obtained. Comparing the simulation results with the corresponding field measurement data on typical location show that two sets of results are very close. So accuracy and applicability of CFD simulations is proved. It is also proved that complete method for CFD simulations of the paper is appropriate for interior thermal environment study of typical steam turbine room and thus laid the foundation for the further studies of a large number of universal cases.
