VISUALIZATION EXPERIMENT AS A BASIS FOR ECOLOGIZATION OF METALLURGICAL PLANTS
ABSTRACT
This article reports on applying a combination of flow visualization on work in full scale with a visualization experiment on a scale model to an aerodynamic design of a ventilation system for an actual large-sized metallurgical plant. The primary visualization on the work was done both to obtain aerodynamic input data on each step of the technological process and to estimate the needed capacity of the ventilation system, to build a scale model for further testing. This model was then used for optimization development of the shape of basic aerodynamic elements by means of a combination of visualization experiments, measuring of flow parameters, and aerodynamic calculations.
