Abstract

The reacting bed modeling code (FLIC)/FLUENT combined simulation was successfully carried out for a large MSW incineration plant to predict the waste bed combustion and the gas flow field by considering their mutual interactions. The results of waste conbustion modeling from FLIC were then compared to the mestured temperature and oxygen concentration in the bed using the ball instrument. The provided simulation provided input conditions on both FLIC and FLUENT, i.e. the gas release from the waste bed for FLUENT and the radiative heat flux from the furnace for FLIC.
