数值模拟在玻璃熔窑结构设计、优化操作、节能减排等方面具有重要意义,一般采用昂贵的商业计算流体力学(CFD)软件进行玻璃熔窑的模拟研究.近年来,开源CFD软件发展迅速,其应用性与可靠性可与商业软件媲美,且具有代码公开、模型扩展容易、算法可控以及免费的优点.本文基于OpenFOAM软件,利用系列开源软件完成了玻璃熔窑的几何建模、网格划分、模拟计算、后处理工作,提出了玻璃熔窑低成本仿真模拟的实现方案,并与商业软件模拟结果进行了对比,预测了开源软件在工业过程模拟中应用前途.%Numerical simulation of glass furnaces has great significance for furnace design, operation optimization, energy saving and emission reduction.Generally, the expensive commercial software of computational fluid dynamics ( CFD) is adopted for the glass furnace simulation studies. Recently, the open-source CFD software, which shows a series of advantages such as source code available, model extensible, algorithm controllable and cost free, has been developed rapidly, and its applicability and reliability is comparable with the commercial CFD software.The implementation of the low-cost glass furnace simulation was proposed based on OpenFOAM in this study.The geometry modeling, meshing, computing, and postprocessing were carried out via a set of open-source software.The simulation results were compared and verified by the results generated by the commercial CFD software.The study show that the open-source CFD software would be promising for process simulations in glass industry.
