CFD model of coupled thermal processes within coke oven battery as an example of complex industrial application
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2010, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper describes results of the mathematical modelling of steady-state and transient physical phenomena taking place in the heating channels of a coke oven battery. A formulated system of standard Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) equations coupled with User Defined Functions is solved numerically using commercial software Ansys Fluent. Finally, the developed 3-D model is used to examine the influence of selected operating parameters on the resulting temperature, velocity and concentration fields within considered object. The obtained results are briefly discussed considering their physical correctness related to industrial measurements.

Particle filtering for computer vision-based identification of frame model parameters
In this paper we present a new approach for solving identification problems based on a novel combination of computer vision techniques, Bayesian state estimation and finite element method. Using our approach we solved tw...
A model-integrated localized collocation meshless method (MIMS)
A model integrated meshless solver (MIMS) tailored to solve practical large-scale industrial problems is based on robust meshless methods strategies that integrate a native model-based point generation procedures. The MI...
Effective thermal conductivity of porous materials and composites as a function of fundamental structural parameters
We conducted thermal conductivity investigations by homogenization. This method can effectively model structural features such as pores within dispersed particle architectures via a finite element mesh. We investigated t...
A time-step insensitive recurrent approach to analyze non-stationary random responses. (Received in the final form October 28, 2008).
The recurrent approach constructed via the stochastic central difference (SCD) is a very fast method for analyzing non-stationary random responses. However, the computational results depend to a great extent upon the dis...
Architecture of iterative solvers for hp-adaptive finite element codes
We present a layered architecture for iterative solvers of linear equations, designed to allow for easy integration with existing hp-adaptive FEM codes. We discuss interfaces between a solver and an external FEM code and...
