Fouling Simulations of a Passive Part of the Testing Combustion Facility

Results from the previous work of Strouhal et al. (2020) suggest that the used CFD fouling model together with user-implemented subroutines is not sufficient for obtaining satisfactory agreement with deposits observed in a described experimental device. The objective of this work is to create a basi...
