Computational Fluid Dynamics (Cfd) As An Operational Tool

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an effective tool for the design and operation of glass production furnaces. Before a furnace is built or rebuilt, it is standard practice to evaluate and optimise the design using CFD, but CFD is also valuable once a furnace is in operation. This article presents the application of CFD to improve the operation of current glass furnaces and provide examples of varied applications to address operational issues.
