Visualization and Numerical Simulation on Fundamental Flow Characteristics of Combustion Gas in Small Furnace

Numerical Simulation for Thermal Distribution and Flow Pattern

Abstract

In the previous paper, the visualization study about the fluid in the model room of the furnace was carried out. In the present paper, the numerical simulation for the thermal distribution and the flow pattern of fluid in the room has been conducted by the FEM method in order to investigate the behavior of fluid by natural convection process. It has been observed that the scale of circulation of heated fluid is increased and the location of circulation of that moves upwards with the elapsed time.
