Hi Bobi,

Thank you for your reply, please correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm not very experienced with OpenFOAM so far. I am already using rhoSimplecFoam for cold flow modelling, however what I would like to do is calculate the mixture fractions of different species in the domain. So for example the mixing of methane jets in an air flow. As far as I know rhoSimplecFoam can only cope with one species (if anyone can tell me how to implement several species in rhoSimplecFoam, I am very satisfied).

I already looked into other solvers, e.g. reactingFoam and there you have the possibility to switch off chemical reactions (however this solver is transient, resulting in extreme calculation times). Is there any possibility to switch off the chemical reactions (or modify the library) for the libOpenSmoke?
