Abstract

The main stages of the glass manufacturing process in terms of mathematical modeling were considered. Based on the formulated assumptions, describing the glass manufacturing process physics, equations of continuity, momentum, energy, turbulent kinetic energy, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation in the form of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations were described. Initial and boundary conditions needed to solve the mathematical modeling problem were determined. The bi-directional emissivity indicator on the translucent border between the flue gases and molten glass was defined from Fresnel formulas. Temperature distribution simulation was performed by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Simulation of turbulent flows was carried out using the κ-ε turbulence model. Solution of the radiation energy transfer equation is based on the P1 approximation of the spherical harmonics method for gray two-temperature medium. As a result, the temperature distribution in the glass furnace was obtained. The temperature distribution is an important tool for investigating glass furnace control systems.
