Similarity theory shows that some essential features of cooling tower plumes can be simulated in laboratory experiments. Therefore, such experiments should be used to check computer models, which are used to estimate the environmental effects of cooling towers. The final validation with field data can then be confined to more integral data for a limited number of cases.
