In this work, an Eulerian/Lagrangian approach has been employed to numerically investigate
flow characteristics, heat transfer, and combustion processes in tangentially fired furnaces.
Comprehensive models have been described in detail. An RNG k-ε model and a new cell face
velocity interpolation method based on a nonstaggered grid system are employed to gain accuracy.
To avoid pseudo-diffusion that is significant in modeling tangentially fired furnaces, some attempts
have been made at improving the differential volume scheme. Some new developments on
turbulent diffusion of particles are taken into account for improving computational accuracy.
Numerical results achieve reasonable agreement with experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
