Three-dimensional numerical simulation of the combustion chamber of glass furnace

Considering the complicated gas combustion, chemical reaction, turbulent flow and radiation, convective heat transfer, a three-dimensional numerical simulation for the process of turbulent combustion in natural gas fired glass furnace was modeled upon the fluid mechanics, the numerical methodologies of combustion and the numerical heat transfer. Taking a cross-connected-type glass furnace as the research object, the detailed process of combustion in combustion chamber is simulated by the commercial CFD software Fluent. The results, such as the distribution of the flow and temperature fields of combustion chamber, provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the glass melting furnace design and process control condition, and made up the defect of experience design of technician.
