This paper reviews significant advances in the mathematical modeling of flow and heat transfer phenomena in glass furnaces during the period 1996–2000. It describes developments in both the fundamental/scientific and practical aspects of modeling. The topics reviewed include developments in (a) model formulation and modeling techniques, (b) postprocessing modeling of glass quality and environmental emissions, (c) measurement of thermodynamic and transport properties of melt relevant to modeling, and (d) incorporation of model‐based knowledge into process control schemes. These developments are critically examined and assessed from an industrial perspective, and topics needing further research and development efforts are identified.
