how to code for equivalence ratio in spray combustion

conceptone · April 8, 2013, 16:15

Hi, everyone, I am doing turbulent multi-step mechanism combustion in OpenFoam and need the calculation for equivalence ratio. The data structure in OpenFoam is really complicated and I found it's difficult to realize this calculation. Can anybody provide specific hints?
Thanks

Hi conceptone,

I am not sure about coding the feature into OpenFOAM but you can use paraview's calculator tool to get the equivalence ratio. I am sure it could be done at run time with swak4foam/functionobjects.

regards,
ris
