How to implement hydrogen combustion?

lpelizzari · August 31, 2022, 17:06

I just want a BC injecting Hydrogen (H2) and have it combust with air (0.78N2 + 0.22O2) inside the domain, and the output should be N2, O2 and H2O, simple as that. There's no ignition, hopefully the air temperature (>1000K) should take care of that.

The Fluent tutorial (https://www.afs.enea.it/project/nept...ug/node537.htm) has proven unfruitful so far. It behaves like I'm just injecting more air into the domain.

Should I use the premixed or non-premixed model? It seems to be non-premixed, because, intuitively, premixed sounds like what you would have in a reciprocating engine.

What else can I do?

increase temperature locally in the beggining of simulation

How so? Can you be more specific?

You can patch high temperature (2000K) and high intermediates and product mass concentration in the initial filed.
In your case, the non-premixed model seems more accurate.

press initialize, then PATCH option will be avaliable
