Optimization Design for Structure of a Shroud Base on Fluent

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper reports a CFD modeling study on the optimization design for the shroud structure of a three-phase electroslag furnace using double electrode series technique by a commercial code FLUENT. The Realizable turbulence model, Do radiation model and Mixture model are amply used to compute the flow of gases in the furnace under different entrance layouts of the shroud, and the influence of entrance layout on the air volume fraction in the furnace is obtained. Finally, a suited suggestion on the entrance layout of shroud is presented that ring topologies should be adopted.
