Abstract

The combustion process in an experimental regenerative, slab reheat furnace was simulated in order to validate several numerical models in the FLUENT, a computational fluid dynamics code. Total 13 cases employing different numerical models were simulated. The predicted results were compared against experimental measurements in terms of the energy output rate and the temperature distribution in the center of the slab.
