On May 16, CIVS Associate Director for Research, Tyamo Okosun, and CIVS Graduate Research Assistant, Samuel Nielson, presented “Comprehensive Numerical Modelling of the Blast Furnace Ironmaking Process” at the McMaster University Blast Furnace Ironmaking Course in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They lectured on CIVS’s state-of-the-art blast furnace CFD modeling techniques to course to approximately 110 attendees as well as networked with blast furnace and ironmaking experts from around the world.

This one-week bi-annual Ironmaking course offers a unique opportunity to gain an in-depth view of blast furnace theory, operation, and best practices. Lectures are given by acknowledged experts in their fields coming from diversified backgrounds and global experience. CIVS Director, Chenn Zhou, has previously given this lecture for more than 10 years. It is an invaluable course for managers, operators, engineers, researchers, or anyone involved in supplying equipment, materials or raw materials to the ironmaking industry.

There is a broad range of topics covered, ranging from blast furnace design, reactions, day-to-day operation, operation during challenging conditions, campaign extension strategies, safety aspects, and many more. In addition to the lectures, further learning and networking opportunities are gained through open discussions, training exercises/simulations, and a plant tour of a local ironmaking facility.
