In a cooling system for a water-cooled internal combustion engine and a control method applicable to the control system, a pump to circulate a coolant to the water-cooled engine and a heat exchanger is drivingly controlled in such a manner that, when a temperature of the coolant detected by a temperature detector indicates a value higher than a predetermined target temperature, a flow state of the coolant circulated within a plurality of tubes arranged within the heat exchanger falls within a predetermined range including at least one of a transition range between a laminar flow range and a turbulence flow range and a part of the turbulence flow range which is placed in vicinity to the transition range (corresponding to 1800 through 6000 in Reynolds number) and the coolant is circulated through the pump into the water-cooled engine and the heat exchanger by a predetermined flow quantity.
