Numerical Simulation of Particle and Fluid Flow for Improvement of Thermal Power Generation Technology

Abstract

Although the rapid installation of renewable energy and the restart of nuclear power plants have been and will be progressed, thermal power generation is still important power generation method. Thermal power generation burns a fossil fuel such as oil, gas and coal. Among them, the powder technology is required for the operation and development of coal-fired power generation system. Recently, numerical simulation technique for the equipment in a coal-fired power plant have been developed and applied to various equipment in a plant. In this review paper, the examples of application of numerical simulation to the existing and developing coal-fired power plant are introduced.
