Funded Activity Summary

Model studies of transport and solidification phenomena in blast furnace hearth. Blast furnace ironmaking is a key operation in the steel industry which, with annual turnover around $11 billion, is a largest manufacturing sector in Australia. This project will generate computer models that can reliably describe the complicated multiphase flow and thermochemical processes in blast furnace hearth. The implementation of reliable computer models and the development of new understanding through the conduct of this project should lead to long life campaigns, better operational control, decreased fuel consumption, improved productivity and reduced environmental impact. This, together with the proposed research training, is important to the development of Australia's competitive steel industry.
