The Visualization of the thermal flow in a glass furnace

Abstract

This paper describes the computer software Viewer3D, which was developed at our faculty in the last year. The main feature of this program is visualization of a glass furnace model in a three-dimensional space, so it displays particular furnace geometric parts and an optional display of temperature distributions or velocity flows in a bath. Viewer3D has a simple user interface created by the MFC library and can visualize data files results derived from specific mathematical applications in the field of glass furnace modeling.
