CFD modelling of gas injections in top submerged lance smelting

A Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling of gas injections in a top submerged lance smelting unit was developed and the effect of lance submergence and air flow rate was investigated and calibrated against water model data. The simulation results were validated against existing experimental data generated for Ausmelt in the past by comparing the velocity fields and generation of turbulence in the bath. In the present study, water was used as …
