Abstract
Numerical simulations of reactive turbulent flows and heat transfer in regenerative slab reheat furnaces have been carried out. A moment closure method with the assumed ft probability density function for the mixture fraction is used to model the turbulent nonpremixed combustion process in the furnaces. The combustion model is based on the assumption of instantaneous full chemical equilibrium. The numerical predictions art critically assessed by comparing with the experimental data. The comparison indicated that the numerical approach presented in this study is capable of predicting the thermal performance of regenerative furnaces with moving slabs.
