Hello everyone,
i want to use gasoline as the fuel, but i can't find the reaction mechanism. Where can i find it?
is there someone can help me?

Hello,

For starters, you can load our example case SI8_engine_PFI_SAGE. There is a gasoline mechanism (mech.dat) available with this example case that you can then export to your case folder and make use of. Please preview the mech.dat file present in this example case to know more about the mechanism.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Srivastava

Thank you very much!

Hello everyone,

I want to use n-heptane and isooctane fuels, but i can't find "mech.dat" and "therm.dat". Where can i find them?

Is there someone can help me?

Serdar,

If you look at some of the example cases in CONVERGE Studio, you can find a suitable mech.dat and therm.dat e.g. the Engine_sector_Diesel_Multicomponent example case has the TRF mechanism (and associated thermodynamic properties) for mixtures of n-heptane, iso-octane and toluene, and the Tumble_GDI_SAGE example case has the PRF mechanism for mixtures of n-heptane and iso-octane. You can export the mech.dat and therm.dat from the example cases and then import them into your case setup.

Best regards,

Tristan
