How can I implement multistep reactions in CFX?
 

I found some reduced multiple-step reactions for methane-air mixture. And I want to import it into CFX. But I do not know how can I achieve it.

Does anyone can help me?

Thanks-Harry

Dear Harry,

Have you looked at how ANSYS CFX does the multiple step reactions? Try using one of the provided mechanisms work, and copy/paste from there.

Thanks, Opaque

I find several reaction mechanisms in CFX installation folder. Without NO formation, there are:

Methane Air WD1--one step;

Methane Air WD2--two steps;

Methane Air WGS--five steps;

Methane Air FLL STP

Right? Is there any limitation when using them?

If I have a reaction model, with several species and several reactions, how can I use it in CFX?

Thank you!

Dear Harry,

There is no chemical reaction import mechanism in CFX; therefore, you must type the CCL using the supplied mechanism as a template.

Look into your CFX installation directory for the file

etc/reactions-extra/REACTIONS-standard.ccl

The syntax of how to write your own mechanism is described.
