Fireside deposit accumulation in kraft recovery boilers is controlled by sootblowers, that remove deposits via high pressure supersonic steam jets. In this paper, we report the most recent results of the application of a CFD model to the interaction of jets with deposits, the application of the model to steam flow within a sootblower nozzle, and the incorporation of the model into the commercial CFD software Fluent, that makes this model much more accessible to the wider engineering community.
