If you havent passsed -66 CAD you shouldnt have any combustion yet.

do you have any fuel?

with the wedge geometry I run my simulation from -180 to 180 CA. Fuel is also injected and the temperatures are high enough so combustion process should take place!?!

did you set chemistry on in chemistryProperties?

If it doesnt burn you reactions are too slow.
That means that its either turned off or
that the reaction rate constant in chem.inp is too low.

Niklas, yes chemistry is on

I tried the the single step mechanism (chem.inp1) and chem.inp_15 delivered from the dieselFoam tutorial. I think the reation rates of this schemes should be ok or not?

Hi,everyone

Now I try to setup dieselEngineFoam.
It seems that there is no definition about injection timing in dieselFoam.
Where and How should I define it?

I got this error message.

You have either messed up the
 

You have either messed up the brackets or have hidden Microsoft endline characters (Ctrl-M) in the bit which says

cylinderHead
{
type zeroGradient;

cyclics...
{
type zeroGradient;
}
}

By the way, what are those dots after "cyclics"?

As a consequence, the solver cannot find the bit that says "cyclics" to locate the subdictionary.

There may be other things wrong as well, e.g. the boundary condition type on the cyclic boundary should be "cyclic", but the code will tell you what it thinks.

Good luck,

I run dieselEngineFoam of tutorials.

Below,I show log dieselEngineFoam.

No Iterations of rho is 0. what happen?

Why this result occured?

Please teach me.

thanks.

Hello,

I try to setup dieselEngineFoam.
Now I don't understand amethod to "merge" the two cases to get a setup for the dieselEngine solver.
I want you to teach it in detail.

Thanks if you can help.

Hi,

"0" folder in dieselFoam ,
I can see "N2:0.766, O2:0.233" composition.

What kind of fraction?
Volume fraction or mass fraction?

Thanks.

mass fraction.
the solvers dieselFoam use it in the equations:
in createFields.
Hfor(label i=0; i<Y.size(); i++)
{
fields.add(Y[i]);
}
in Yeqn
solve
(
fvm::ddt(rho, Yi)
+ mvConvection->fvmDiv(phi, Yi)
- fvm::laplacian(turbulence->muEff(), Yi)
== kappa*chemistry.RR(i),
mesh.solver("Yi")
);
which is the mass conservation equation for a specie i, implying mass fraction Yi

Hello, I want to know Reyno
 

Hello,

I want to know Reynolds number "Re" and viscosity "&mu;" of some cells per CA.

I found "sampleDict" in stressedFoam/plateHole/system.
Can I check "Re" and "&mu;" in dieselEngineFoam using sampleDict?

Thanks.

Hello Sir,
I am new OpenFOAM,

I am trying to implementing Eddy Dissipation Concept, Can any body tell whether it is already there in OpenFOAM-1.5 or still to be implemented,
And give me some guidelines to set up a basic combustion problem in OpenFOAM

Hello Badiger,

I implemented it and have done a few test calculations but still it is not in a condition to be published. I hope to do that in a few weeks.

I showed it at the Workshop in Milan this year. If you want to I can send you the slides.

Regards, Markus.

Thanks Markus, Please send,
 

Thanks Markus,

Please send, I ll go through,
Can you guide me in implementing a combustion problm, a simple one, some start ups i have already started with it, but stucking in writing chem.inp file requiring values of Activation energy etc.. for different fuels

Plz do the needful
