Adding non-reacting species to the materials

martia65 · December 14, 2017, 11:25

Hi,

I want to add a noble gas such as xenon to the list of species, and use it as a working fluid instead of nitrogen.

Do you know how should I add it?

Martia,

You can add Xenon to your gas species in species.in (in Studio: Materials -> Species -> Gas). You'll also need to add it to your therm.dat file (in Studio: Materials -> Gas simulation -> Gas thermodynamic data).

Best regards,

Tristan

What about Density, viscosity, and other fluids parameters?
Where can I define them for xenon?

Martia,

Density is calculated by the Equation of state (In Studio: Materials -> Gas simulation). Molecular viscosity and conductivity are tabulated (In Studio: Materials -> Gas simulation -> Gas transport data).

Best regards,

Tristan
