I am a PhD student (working on Internal Combustion Engines pollution). I am a new Foamer(I just read the user guide and run some tutorials).
Is there a soot model in OpenFoam?
Thanks

No, there isn't one at the moment.

Depends on how you want to model it.
It can easily be done using the chemkin interface.

thanks
I think I need to read more .

I tried to use chem.inp and therm.dat (/applications/test/readCHEMKINIII/CHEMKINdata/) for soot modeling.
when runing a 2D case with dieselFoam I got this error:
((
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR : unknown specie A1C2H)2+ on line 1193
Valid species are :
.
.
.
))
1193 line in the chem.inp is as
A1C2H* + C2H2 = A1C2H)2 + H 1.80E+19 -1.67 18800. ! 760 Torr RRKM
and I think there is not A1C2H)2+ in it. I had the same problem in other cases.
what is the problem?
thank you

Hi Niklas, i m a new Foamer and i m just learning it. i wanna ask whether dieselFoam gives accurate results for 2D mesh (if we keep mesh as same as given in OF-1.5 tutorial (just eleminating z coordinates)) and keeping every thing like properties etc same as given in tutorial
