Multi-Fluid Mathematical Model for Blast Furnace and its Parallel Solution

Abstract:

Developing blast furnace model is benefit to understand, control and improve blast furnace iron making process. Multi-fluid blast furnace model was established on computational fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena and other theories. In the model, complicated motion and heat transfer between phases of gas, liquid and solid were considered and numerous reactions in blast furnace were simplified. Because there were so many equations in the model and there were strong coupling relationships between phases, parallel computing technology using computer group was adopted to solve the model to accelerate convergence velocity of iteration. The model can provide versatile information, it is a useful tool to simulate blast furnace operation.
