The invention provides a cooling tower water distribution system modeling method. The modeling method comprises the steps that a preliminary arrangement scheme map is read, conversion is carried out on the arrangement scheme map, a cooling tower vertical shaft is simplified into a point, a water distribution groove, a water distribution branch groove and a water distribution pipe are divided into pipe segments, a spraying nozzle, a short pipe and a tee are simplified into nodes, the short pipe and the tee are connected with the spraying nozzle, all the pipe segments are simplified into straight line segments, each pipe segment is numbered from the cooling tower vertical shaft as a starting point, each pipe segment is gone through, a starting node coordinate and a terminal node coordinate of each pipe segment are saved corresponding to the number, attribute information of each pipe segment related to water distribution design is saved, connection relation information of each pipe segment and downstream pipe segments is saved, and data of each pipe segment recorded in the ergodic process are saved in a dataset. The cooling tower water distribution system modeling method can read the cooling tower pipeline arrangement scheme map finished preliminarily in early stage, and forms the dataset as a model of cooling water distribution calculation. Water distribution calculation can be carried out conveniently by utilizing the model.
