Numerical Simulation of Flow in Production Furnaces: Focus on SiMn Production Furnace

The purpose of this work is to develop numerical simulations ble to provide some physical useful information about metal production processes. As a starting point, the aim of this study is to operate a numerical simulation of the SiMn production process. Thermodynamical and kinetic data are supplied by the recent experiment results and the knowledge in this field owned by the SiMn experimenting team. These simulations are supposed to give a deeper understanding of the experimental facility operations, whereas the experimental observations are necessary to correctly set up the model.
