H2 injection temperature as IC under janaf limit (modifying janafThermoI.H)
 
Hi everybody,
I'm newby in OpenFOAM and in C++ programming language and I try to simulate combustion air-H2 inside a scramjet combustion chamber. For my thesis I need to set a injection temperature of hydrogen around 133K but it is already out of temperature range. I have calculated coefficients for the lower temperature using Chemkin Fitdata function, but I don't know how to modify OpenFoam to read this new file (i.e therm_lowrange.dat). Looking around the code I found the file where temperature is checked, janafThermoI.H:

template<class equationOfState>
inline void Foam::janafThermo<equationOfState>::checkT(const scalar T) const
{
if (T < Tlow_ || T > Thigh_)
{
FatalErrorIn
(
"janafThermo<equationOfState>::checkT(const scalar T) const"
) << "attempt to use janafThermo<equationOfState>"
" out of temperature range "
<< Tlow_ << " -> " << Thigh_ << "; T = " << T
<< abort(FatalError);
}
}

I would like to bypass this check for example say OpenFoam to read something like that from thermophysicalProperties file:

CHEMKINThermoFile_lowrange "$FOAM_CASE/chemkin/therm_lowrange.dat"

before abort (if doesn't exist). What is the easy way to do it? Do you know if foamChemistryReader can do this?

Thanks for any suggestions!

This is my new janafThemoI:
Code:
template<class equationOfState>
inline void Foam::janafThermo<equationOfState>::checkT(scalar T) const
{
    if (T <  Tlow_)
    {
        Info<< "Warning: out of temperature range "
            << Tlow_ << " -> " << Thigh_ << ";  T = " << T << endl;
        T = Tlow_;
        Info<< "Temperature limited at T = " << T << endl;
    }
    if (T > Thigh_)
    {
        Info<< "Warning: out of temperature range "
            << Tlow_ << " -> " << Thigh_ << ";  T = " << T << endl;
        T = Thigh_;
        Info<< "Temperature limited at T = " << T << endl;
    }
    /*if (T <  Tlow_ || T > Thigh_)
    {
        FatalErrorIn
        (
            "janafThermo<equationOfState>::checkT(const scalar T) const"
        )  << "attempt to use janafThermo<equationOfState>"
              " out of temperature range "
            << Tlow_ << " -> " << Thigh_ << ";  T = " << T
            << abort(FatalError);
    }*/
}


template<class equationOfState>
inline const typename Foam::janafThermo<equationOfState>::coeffArray&
Foam::janafThermo<equationOfState>::coeffs
(
    scalar T  // const scalar T
) const
{
    checkT(T);

    if (T < Tcommon_)
    {
        return lowCpCoeffs_;
    }
    else
    {
        return highCpCoeffs_;
    }
}
I also replaced const scalar T with scalar T in line 56 and line 89...but if I run a test case (T is 1204 K in all domain except in one point where T=50K) I see that T field is not updated. Why?
