Advanced Engineering: Aerodynamic Design for Precise Wind Control
The first article revealed how Enclosed Ground Flare (EGF) technology enables smokeless, silent, and invisible combustion through precise control within a fully enclosed chamber.
In EP.2, we explore the aerodynamic engineering behind the “wind fence”—a structure that may look simple but is, in fact, an advanced design that ensures stable EGF performance under all wind conditions.
Achieving smokeless and invisible combustion requires far more than simply enclosing the flare. It demands precise control of combustion air, which is constantly challenged by unpredictable wind conditions.
Surrounding the enclosed ground flare is a structure that may look like an ordinary wall—but in reality, it is a highly engineered wind fence designed using advanced aerodynamic principles. There are two primary types:
- Solid-wall wind fences:
Act as a direct barrier against incoming wind, allowing air to flow smoothly over the wall and into the combustion zone in a consistent manner.
- Fluidic wind fences:
Built with angled slats positioned with precise geometry to redirect incoming wind and evenly distribute air toward the burners.
These wind fences are multifunctional engineering innovations. Beyond enhancing combustion performance, they also serve as critical physical protection—restricting unauthorized access, shielding personnel from radiant heat, and preserving the safety of equipment in the surrounding area.
