inlet gas in shockTube (rhoCentralFoam solver)
 

Hi foamers,

I am investigating a case by using the shockTube tutorial (rhoCentralFoam solver).

The shockTube is divided into two parts by a diaphragm.

In my case, the left part is filled with hydrogen and the right part with air.

Nevertheless, the shockTube can only define one mixture in the thermophysicalProperties.

Then how can I define two different kind of gas in my case?

Thanks.

hi
ı have same problem if you solve . can you help me ?

Try using reactingMixture instead of pureMixture in constant/thermophysicalProperties. That way you can use setField to specify your initial specie distribution.

thermoType
{
type heRhoThermo;
mixture reactingMixture;
transport sutherland;
thermo janaf;
energy sensibleEnthalpy;
equationOfState perfectGas;
specie specie;
}

you can check out one of the lagrangian tutorial for the setup of thermophysicalProperties file.

same problem
 

Hello all,

I am a new user of OpenFoam and doing my case using a shock tube sample in the rhoCentralFoam folder.
As with other folks above, I am using a shock tube with two different gases: He and air.
The sample, however, used only air in both sides, so the output has a lot of discrepancy.
I found that, in a setFieldsDict, we can put initial condition of pressure and temperature in both sides of a shock tube. Is there any way to put specific heat ratio and sound speed of both gases separately?
I have looked at the sample using reacting mixture instead of pure mixture but it is too difficult for me to understand.
If anyone knows a solution, could you explain to me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Ye
