Hello,
I want to setup HVO as a fuel in my simulation. My question is there any fuel that closely related to HVO like any surrogate that i can define and is available so that i can implement it in converge. any comments will be appreciated. Thanks

The fuel modeling is two folds. (1) Proper liquid properties (in case you are using spray) to ensure desired rate of evaporation and (2) fuel surrogate to mimic the properties of desired fuel.

Often times it is difficult to get surrogates that satisfies both the liquid and gas/reaction properties. One workaround is described below.

You may split the two modeling by using "evap source flag" such that the modeled liquid fuel is evaporated in a species for which you have a reaction mechanism. You can use the LHV correction to ensure the energy content is consistent between the experiment and simulation.

Thanks,
