Accurate computational models of sintering behavior would assist to enhance sinter quality and are anticipated to play a role in yield prediction. Sintering is a vital process in the manufacturing of iron and steel. As a consequence, the primary objective of these models will be a thorough simulation of mass and heat transport during the sintering process. In this paper, based on the examination and integration of previous studies, the fundamental physical formula and chemical reactions of the numerical simulation of the sintering process are introduced in depth with mechanism analysis. Furthermore, in view of the current numerical simulation methods and sintering process technology innovation development, the studies on sintering numerical simulation are reviewed from different angles, of which the main methods and assumptions are discussed. Finally, the current state of sintering simulation including the numerical simulation of innovative algorithm and optimized sintering technology is discussed in detail, along with potential implications for model development.
