Development of a simplified methodology for furnace aerodynamics with vortex combustion of organic fuel modeling
Abstract This paper describes the process of developing a simplified methodology for furnace aerodynamics during the development or modernization of combustion schemes with direct-flow burners. This technique is based on the use of numerical modeling of air movement and turbulence phenomena in the furnace volume and allows for a relatively short period of time to analyze a large number of options for the burners and nozzles location. This is its advantage in comparison with the use of experimental modeling or numerical simulation with combustion when analyzing a variety of schemes. The model was developed on the basis of validated results of combustion processes numerical simulation in the K-50 boiler furnace. The paper presents the results of calculations performed for several variants of the simplified methodology. For further use, the option that best corresponds to full-scale studies taking into account the fuel combustion process has been selected. The main states of the methodology are formulated.
