Talk:Tut reactingFoam firstTutorial

1 adaption to OpenFOAM-1.6

It is possible to use the tutorial in OpenFOAM-1.6 with some minor changes:

• a "g"-file is needed in the /constant directory, which can be used from the new aachenBomb-tutorial
• file "constant/chemistryProperties"
  • chemistrySolver should be ode instead of ODE
  • there should be a odeCoeffs-dictionary instead of ODECoeffs
  • added the line psyChemistryModel ODEChemistryModel<gasThermoPhysics>; after the header
• file "constant/thermophysicalProperties"
  • replace line thermoType hMixtureThermo<reactingMixture>; by thermoType hPsiMixtureThermo<reactingMixture<gasThermoPhysics>>;
  • check for correct places of CHEMKINFile and CHEMKINThermoFile, it works with CHEMKINFile "../chemkin/chem.inp"; and CHEMKINThermoFile "../chemkin/therm.dat";
• file "0/T"
  • in boundary condition "outlet", replace type fixedValue; value uniform 800; with type zeroGradient;
• a "constant/RASProperties"-file could be needed, examples can be found e.g. in the new aachenBomb-tutorial

2 older question

Thanks for the tutorial, however, I am getting the following error in the third time step, and have not been able to find the problem:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR : attempt to use janafThermo<equationOfState> out of temperature range 200 -> 5000; T = 5000.92#0

Any suggestions or a fix would be very appreciated. Thanks again. ~E

• a possibility could be to change the oxygen in the lowerInlet (in the the 0/O2 file) from 1.0 to (say) 0.9 or less and the nitrogen in the lowerInlet ( 0/N2) from 0.0 to 0.1 to cool down the reaction
• note: my suggestion is not validated, since I did not have that problem yet, but the problem is also discussed here: at cfd-online.com --Aortwein 15:29, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
• as far as I can see, the main problem lies in the "T" file in the "0"-Directory. Here, the boundary condition for "outlet" is set to "type fixedValue" with a value of 800. That should be changed to "type zeroGradient", afterwards it should work. If that change is not done, obviously that boundary condition is making problems as soon as a temperature higher than 800 K reaches the outlet. --Aortwein 10:31, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
• One suggestion is to increase upper limit of the temperature in thermo.dat file. I have fixed this problem using this technique.
