Abstract: The coupling simulation for the ceramic wide-body tunnel kiln is set up. The work of model constructing and numerical calculation for the whole combustion system of tunnel kiln are carried out by commercial fluid software. The results show that the number of computational grids can be reduced effectively in the multi structure system by using the coupling calculation. Meanwhile the simulation difficulty of the complex system is reduced. The calculation results of the temperature of the tunnel kiln are in good agreement with the actual operating conditions. The model in this paper can provide accurate calculation data for structural optimization and operation parameter adjustment of the wide-body tunnel kiln.
Key words: wide-body tunnel kiln; combustion system; ensemble simulation; coupled calculation
