Hi,


No, v1706 is the only version that can be used.


Thanks,
Vince

Hello Vincent,

first of all I would like to say that I like your work very much. I have written a similar solver but in a very light and immature version (compared to your project). My programming skills are unfortunately quite modest. My solver is based on sonicFoam instead of rhoCentralFoam, I wrote it based on foam-extend-4.0 and I use 3-temperature model for thermal non-equilibrium. I am not allowed to publish my solver yet. Besides, a lot of its parts are hard coded, which makes it rather user-unfriendly at the moment.

I am currently testing your hy2Foam solver. I have a question regarding chemistry. As I have seen in the chemical mechanisms in the hy2Foam tutorials, you calculate the forward reaction rate constant (k_f) in m^3/(kmole*s). Then you calculate the equilibrium constant K_eq by using the curve-fit coefficients in order to calculate k_b. But the unit of k_b can vary depending on the reaction. For example, the backward constant remains in m^3/(kmole*s) for such reactions as NO + O = O2 + N. This means that K_eq is in this case dimensionless. For reactions of type AB -> A + B, such as N2 + M = 2N + M, k_b is in m^6/(kmole^2*s). In this case K_eq is no longer dimensionless and gets the following dimensions: m^3/(kmole*s). Since the Arrhenius coefficients are mostly given in cm^3/(mole*s) or cm^6/(mole^2*s), you have to multiply K_eq by 1000 for the reactions of the type AB -> A + B in order to convert K_eq from CGS units to MKS units.
My question is: where does it happen in the source code?
Or did I make a mistake? Not sure, which is why I didn’t want to make a bug report.
Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Alexander

Hi Alexander,


Thanks for your interest!
You did well by opening on Issue on hyStrath, I prefer when all questions are centralised there.

Hello Vincent,

I am interested to do hypersonic simulations in OpenFoam. Thank you very much for your work on this, much appreciated. I tried to follow your links provided above:

- source code: https://github.com/vincentcasseau/hyStrath
- Wiki page: https://github.com/vincentcasseau/hyStrath/wiki

But they seem outdated. Is this solver still publicly available and would you please update.

Also, would this solver pair with the EOF-library: https://github.com/jvencels/EOF-Library, so that coupling to ELMER (https://www.csc.fi/fi/web/elmer) would be possible?

Thank you,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,


The links are as follows now:



- source code: https://github.com/vincentcasseau/hyStrath (unchanged)

- website: https://vincentcasseau.github.io/ (replaced the Wiki)



I was not aware Elmer could be coupled to OpenFOAM. The solvers on hyStrath are no different from the OF ones so there is a chance it may work. If you are interested, please give it a try and open an Issue on hyStrath in case of conflicts.



Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,

Thank you for your quick reply, much appreciated. We will try out hyStrath.

I have been doing some more digging and it seems Elmer is a great tool, but not directly suited for antenna simulations. What I am essentially interested in is plasma-RF interactions.

openEMS seems to be the right tool for antenna simulations: https://openems.de/start/ and can do bent patch antenna analysis: https://openems.de/index.php/Tutoria...h_Antenna.html, and the coupling can be one-way: hyStrath-->openEMS for example, unless you have a better suggestion for antenna simulations? I see you have done some work in MHD, but MHD problems are typically different from antenna problems.

Any useful information is appreciated.

Thank you!
Andreas

Hi Andreas,


Thanks for the short description and the links.
Unfortunately, I can't provide any advice about antennas.


Regards,
Vincent
