Résumé

Fouling of heat transfer surfaces causes serious technical and economic problems in industry. The goal of this work is to simulate the aforementioned fouling process using the CFD code FLUENT. The numerical results obtained assist in designing and running heat exchangers. Results of the numerical simulation are the prediction of the fouling resistance as a function of time and the calculation of the temperature distribution within the fouling layer. In view of the complexity of the fouling process during the incrustation of heat transfer surfaces and the fact that not all influences from the models used could be considered, agreement between calculated and experimentally obtained data is satisfactory.
