Mathematical model of hydrodynamics of a glass-melting tank

The urgency of the study of the hydrodynamics of the melting basin of a glass-making furnace has been substantiated. The basic equations of the numerical model of the basin hydrodynamics are presented. The results of calculating the temperature fields and streamlines for a glass-making furnace with a capacity of 300 tons per day are given. The adequacy of the calculation results to the real operating conditions of the furnace is shown. The developed model of the melting basin hydrodynamics can be used to solve applied problems of designing glass-melting furnaces. Il. 5, bibliography: 12 titles.
