Abstract: In this paper, the computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS fluent is used to simulate the local structure of various flue and air ducts and the flue and air ducts used in many practical projects. According to the simulation results, the advantages and disadvantages of different local structures of flue and air duct are analyzed and compared, including section shape, turning radius of bend, and different size combinations under rectangular section shape of bend. Combined with the flue and air duct structure case in actual project, its rationality is analyzed, and an optimization scheme is proposed based on the numerical simulation results.

Key words: flue and air duct, numerical simulation, section shape, turning radius of bend, structure optimization
