A practical 3-dimensional mathematical model of a float glass tank furnace incorporating the batch melting process has been formulated. The model equations were solved by using SIMPLEC scheme. By computation, the velocity and temperature distribution in a typical float glass tank were studied. It was found that a special circulation current existed near the charge end.
