The high performance industrial furnace, providing significant energy savings, low pollutant emission and high control ability on heating, has been developing. For designing the process, numerical simulations of a slab reheating furnace, with the advanced combustion system adopting highly preheated air have been performed, using a three-dimensional unsteady mathematical model. An essential feature of the model is the incorporation of the three-dimensional turbulent model (LES) and the Radiative Energy Absorption Distribution (READ) method. Numerical results has been verified with experimental results, velocity data of a water-model and heat flux data of a large unit furnace. The results have been, also, visualized by the thermal particle method. The numerical results lead to the conclusion that the regenerative burner system developed has the large advantage of heating slabs uniformly in a wide reheating furnace, and suggest possibility of a compact reheating furnace.
