SBIR Phase I: Computational Steering for an Industrial Boiler and Furnace Simulation

9860645这项小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将评估使用计算转向减少模拟燃烧化石燃料的工业锅炉和熔炉内的湍流反应流动的时间的可行性。我们的战略包括开发一个具有紧密集成工具的计算工作台，用于全面的湍流反应流模拟；前沿可视化；简单的模型修改。新工具将基于：反应工程国际公司的湍流两相反应流模型；以及由犹他大学科学计算和成像研究小组开发的SCIRun问题解决环境。新工具的目标市场部门是对化石燃料蒸汽发生器和其他燃烧系统的分析。我们的目标是创建一种计算工具，将详细的反应流计算流体动力学(CFD)模拟的能力交到非CFD专家的工程师手中。电站锅炉因其投资成本高、寿命长以及对降低成本和污染控制的重视而成为一个有吸引力的市场。

9860645 This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I project will evaluate the feasibility of using computational steering to reduce the time to simulate turbulent reacting flows within fossil-fuel fired industrial boilers and furnaces. Our strategy includes developing a computational workbench with tightly integrated tools for comprehensive turbulent Reacting Flow simulation; leading edge visualization; simple model modification. The new tool will be based on: Reaction Engineering International's turbulent, two phase Reacting Flow models; and the SCIRun problem-solving environment developed by the University of Utah Scientific Computing and Imaging research group. The targeted market-sector for the new tool is the analysis of fossil-fuel fired steam generators and other combustion systems. Our intention is to create a computational tool that can put the power of detailed Reacting Flow Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations into the hands of engineers that are not CFD experts. Utility boilers represent an attractive market because of their high capital cost, long life expectancy and increased emphasis on cost reduction and pollution control.
