Simulation of industrial combustion systems . This contribution surveys the state of the art of mathematical modelling of industrial flames and combustion chambers with the aid of examples. No claim is made to completeness. It should be noted that the complexity of the mathematical model is limited by available computer power, even though this power is increasing, and one is thus compelled to concentrate on essential aspects in calculating combustion chambers. Nevertheless, valuable results are obtainable here, which often cannot be gained in a real system because the geometric dimensions are too large, or specific quantities cannot be measured, or a firing plant cannot be disturbed in operation. In the area of pollutant production, mathematical models help to provide an understanding of the operating mechanisms and possible means of influencing them. However, the greatest advantage over series of measurements lies in the possibility of performing parametric studies under otherwise identical conditions, which proves very difficult or impossible in practice.
