3D CFD simulation of aerodynamics of a 406 MWt CFB boiler

Abstract

Modeling of various processes in CFB boilers (combustion, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, etc.) is connected with the solution of systems of differential equations with a large number of unknowns that leads to their simplification and, accordingly, affect the quality of the calculation. The work consists of several parts and aims to assess the applicability of some or other mathematical algorithms to obtain a quantitative simulation of processes in power boilers with circulating fluidized bed. In part, presented in this article, the simulation of CFB boiler aerodynamics using ANSYS FLUENT is considered.
