Water temperature model and maximum cooling capacity of a lake or pond

Based on the stratified chilled water storage mode, presents the method that outlet water is delivered from near the deepest level and returns to the level where the temperature of ambient water most closely matches the inlet water temperature using current regulator. Develops a two-dimensional vertical hydrodynamic water temperature model. A comparison result with measured value shows that the model can accurately simulate actual profile of water temperature. Predicts maximum cooling capacity of water pond with the model and analyses the influence of temperature difference of inlet and outlet water, climate and water depth on the maximum cooling capacity.
