CFD Modeling of the Melting Behavior of a Fayalitic Slag

Abstract The melting behavior of a fayalitic slag was investigated with computational fluid dynamics and validated experimental data. A heating microscope employed to perform typical ash (AMB) test, in order gain information about the slag. numerical approach is based on using volume (VOF) method, track interface between gas phases, enthalpy–porosity model, simulate as phase change material (PCM). combined VOF-PCM model therefore applied parameter study mushy zone constant $$A_{\rm mushy}$$ A mushy , which enters equations sub-model an priori unknown. goal investigation determine correct value for by comparing results AMB test.
