• A six chemical species CFD model of alumina reduction in a Hall-Héroult cell 

      Witt, Peter J.; Feng, Yuqing; Snook, Graeme A.; Eick, Ingo; Cooksey, Mark (SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter, 2015)
      The industrial process for producing primary aluminium metal is the reduction of powdered alumina in a Hall-Héroult reduction cell. These cells operate at temperatures above 940 °C with a highly corrosive electrolyte making ...
    • Bubble generated turbulence in two fluid simulation of bubbly flow 

      Schwarz, M. Philip; Feng, Yuqing; Witt, Peter J. (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Bubbly flows are central to many processes in the minerals extraction and metal production industries, mainly because they enhance heat and mass transfer rates. These transfer rates depend on the turbulence level in the ...
    • Modelling thermal effects in the molten iron bath of the HIsmelt reduction vessel 

      Witt, Peter J.; Feng, Yuqing; Davis, Mark P. (SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter, 2015)
      Over a thirty year period the HIsmelt process has been developed as an alternative to the traditional blast furnace for the production of pig iron. This process involves the injection of fine iron ore and non-coking coal ...
    • Oscillatory flow and mass transport in a coronary artery 

      Gabriel, Sargon A.; Ding, Yan; Gear, John A.; Feng, Yuqing (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Pulsatile flow is intrinsic to the cardiovascular system and is driven by the rhythmic beating of the heart. As a system for mass transport, the cardiovascular system hosts a variety of biochemical and cellular species ...
    • Pragmatic CFD modelling approaches to complex multiphase processes 

      Schwarz, M. Philip; Feng, Yuqing (SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Modelling of complex multiphase processes in the minerals and energy resources industries requires a balance between the pursuit for detail and recognition of computational resource limitations, if it is to lead to effective ...
    • Towards a coupled multi-scale, multi-physics simulation framework for aluminium electrolysis 

      Einarsrud, Kristian Etienne; Eick, Ingo; Bai, Wei; Feng, Yuqing; Hua, Jinsong; Witt, Peter J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Aluminium metal production through electrolytic reduction of alumina in a cryolite bath is a complex, multi-physics, multi-scale process, including magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), bubble flow, thermal convection, melting and ...
