In this work, an axisymmetric numerical model was developed to investigate the transient flow inside a 7-meter-long free piston gun tunnel. The numerical solution of the gun tunnel was carried out using the commercial solver Fluent. The governing equations of mass, momentum, and energy were discretized using the finite volume method. The dynamic zone of the piston was modeled as a rigid body, and...
In this paper, High-Temperature Air Combustion (HiTAC) method utilizing coal as fuel is studied numerically using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A case study was performed using the CFD code FLUENT 6.2 to investigate the effects of utilizing high temperature air combustion on a real 700MW coal-powered boiler operating on a tangential firing mechanism. The results obtained were consistent with...
Combustion characteristics in large scale boilers are influenced by a number of factors such as coal properties and burner operating conditions. Burner firing angle for example, will affect the fireball size and locations of heat release which affect the formation of ash slagging in a tangentially fired furnace. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of coal combustion in a...
There are currently numerous studies on utility boilers using various in-house and commercial CFD codes. Most of the existing simulations are aimed at the flow and combustion properties inside the furnace and therefore, it usually terminates at furnace exit just downstream the re-heater section before the crossover path. On top of that, the majority of these works were based on coal-fired boiler furnace,...
This paper describes the application of the built-in volume-of-fluid (VOF) model in the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENTTM and the verification of its accuracy. As the VOF model is based on the field volume fraction calculations and surface reconstruction methods, in which a free surface is not explicitly tracked, the aim was to verify that a reconstructed surface obtained...
