Abstract: The accuracy and adaptability of the structure model and numerical model were discussed scantly in the numerical calculation for the thermal power plant SCR system. Therefore, in this paper both the complete and the partial structural models were established based on the structural characteristics of the typical SCR system, then simulated using the Fluent software with standard κ-ε turbulence model and Realizable κ-ε turbulence model. Through the comparison of velocities between the simulation and experiment results, the impacts of the turbulence model and the economizer export, the ash hopper, the AIG and the uniform flow grille pattern on the calculation accuracy of flue gas flow field were analyzed. Similarly, by comparing the simulation and experiment results regarding the pressure drops, the NOx concentration distribution and NH3 escape distribution in the outlet flue, the method correctness and validity of parameter setting in the porous medium model as well as the multi-component reaction model were also demonstrated respectively The results showed that the economizer export structure and the AIG structure had significant impacts on the calculation accuracy of the flue gas flow field in the inlet flue. The relative error between the simulated and experimental pressure drop across single layer of catalyst was -1.9%. The NOx removal efficiency of simulation and experiment were 79.35% and 80.56%, respectively with the relative error -1.5%. The NH3 escape distribution trends of the simulation and experiment result were consistent as well.
