Theoretical foundations have been developed and a mathematical 
model of dynamic heat- and mass-exchange processes in a glassmaking 
furnace has been constructed, which makes it possible to calculate 
and visualize nonstationary temperature fields in the furnace volume 
and nonstationary fields of velocities of convective glass-mass flow 
in the molten bath. Test calculations for a specific structure of 
a glassmaking furnace which have shown the effectiveness of the model 
constructed have been performed.
