Abstract

Comprehensive mathematical model describing the basic aerothermochemical processes during the pulverized coal combustion in furnaces has been presented. With the use of in-house CFD code, the numerical simulation of the furnace processes has been carried out for the specific geometry of the vortex furnace which is a promising design for effective coal combustion with reduced emissions. Detailed flowfield information obtained in predictions include the 3D structure of the turbulent two-phase flow in the vortex furnace, the fields of concentrations, temperatures, radiative heat fluxes and other combustion parameters.
