Hi All,

Do you know what does "fres" mean in the inhomogeneousMixture.C files?

{
if (ft < 0.0001)
{
return oxidant_;
}
else
{
scalar fu = b*ft + (1.0 - b)*fres(ft, stoicRatio().value());
scalar ox = 1 - ft - (ft - fu)*stoicRatio().value();
scalar pr = 1 - fu - ox;

mixture_ = fu/fuel_.W()*fuel_;
mixture_ += ox/oxidant_.W()*oxidant_;
mixture_ += pr/products_.W()*products_;

return mixture_;
}
}

Furthermore after a complete combustion ft should go to zero but in openFOAM (inhomogeneousMixture) it does not! Any explanation?

Thanks,
Pierluigi

Hello.

I found this in basicMultiComponentMixtureI.H

inline Foam::scalar Foam::basicMultiComponentMixture::fres
(
    const scalar ft,
    const scalar stoicRatio
) const
{
    return max(ft - (1.0 - ft)/stoicRatio, 0.0);
}

I am pretty sure that is what You are looking for.

Have a nice day.
