Dear all,

I'm happy to release an updated version of multi species mass transport library based on "Novaresio V., Garcìa-Camprubì M., Izquierdo S., Asinari P., Fueyo N., An Open-Source Library for the Numerical Modeling of Mass-Transfer in Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells, Computer Physics Communications, Elsevier B.V., pp. 22, 2011, Vol. 183, pag. 125-146, ISSN: 0010-4655, DOI: 10.1016/j.cpc.2011.08.003". I'd like to underline that the contribution of all the authors was fundamental (let me say indispensable...) for the theoretical background of this library.

The library is fully integrated with OpenFOAM-1.6-ext (succesfully tested with "clean" version obtained using git clone git://openfoam-extend.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext). The diffusivityModels library contains a series of classes to compute binary diffusion coefficients (ChapmanEnskog, Wilke, Fuller, Constant) and Knudsen diffusion coefficien for porous media. The multiSpeciesTransportModels library contains a series of models to compute diffusive fluxes (SchmidtNumber, LewisNumber, FickDilutedMixture, Fick, MaxwellStefan).

There are few differences between this library and the paper. In attached one can find a short documentation that also describes this differences. The library comes with a solver (a modified version of reactingFoam that can use the multi species mass library) and with a simple test case for methane laminar combustion (special thanks to Silvano Pautasso). The ./install script copies and compiles all files respectively in $FOAM_USER/lib, $FOAM_USER/applications and $FOAM_USER/run.

Probably the code still has some bugs. Any suggestion, feedback. correction or further improvement will be appreciated.

Best regards

Valerio
