Hi,
I would like to optimize the kinetic parameter (pre-exponential factor) for the Sage kinetic solver in mech.dat. I need to reach a certain level of emissions and they are influenced from this parameter. Is it possible to obtain my target value by the CONGO algorithm? Is it possible to activate it on the case setup of Converge Studio? |

You would set up parameters in the mech.dat of important reactions and then run an optimization, targeting the emissions parameters. It could be setup with the help of Studio. Assuming you could achieve your targets, it would be computationally costly. Our experience with mechanism tuning is that appx 2000 generations are required with a population of 9. This would be about 16,000 individual Converge simulations. For this reason, most mechanism tuning focuses on ign delay and flamespeed, although it is has been done with full Converge engine simulations. |

I am trying to develop the CONGO algorithm for 3 pre exponential factor in mech.dat with a population of 5 and 100 generation. The case seems to fail when generating the merit function. It creates the ga_output.out but the written value of the performance variables inside the file are zero. I need to get the value from the 'species_mass_fraction_region6.out' but I don't understand how the CONGO manage to get these value from that file.
This is the merit.in : ga_output output_file_name 2 num_output_vars CH4 output_var_name NH3 output_var_name 0 merit_lib_flag 2 num_performance_vars CH4 performance_var_name maximize type 0.00016 value 0.5 weight NH3 performance_var_name maximize type 5.6E-05 value 0.5 weight 0 num_constraint_vars I have no parameter to insert the output file from when the merit function get the values. Any suggestion? |

Hello Dan,
can you help me with the conversation of pre exponential factor in chemkin file, I use reduced mechanism of propane (chemkin file) to simulate premixed flame and wheen I import it to fluent the units of pre exponential factor changed I m reallz looked in this... |

Hi, This sounds like more of a Fluent-import issue, and you might be served better asking it on a Fluent forum. |
