Abstract

Coal is softened in carbonization, and its fluidity occurs. In the present study, to theoretical investigate the fluidity of coal, we assumed that coal in softening was fluid and performed numerical simulations for coal in softening at the Gieseler fluidity tests using computational fluid dynamics. As a result, the Gieseler fluidity, viscosity, and non-Newtonian fluidity of the coal would affect its fluid flow in the Gieseler fluidity tests.
