CFD modelling of molten matte and slag flows in a circular three-phase smelting furnace

A full-scale three-dimensional CFD model, coupled with electrical modelling, was created for a circular, three-electrode furnace. This model included a transient analysis of both the slag and matte as fluid layers through multi-phase modelling. User-defined AC current is applied along with energy si...
