[OpenFOAM] Question about the kivaTest tutorial

johan · October 16, 2008, 09:44

Hi everybody!

I am trying to simulate an ignition using the kivaTest tutorial. I want to simulate the flame front and how it propagates inside the cylinder.

I have run kivaToFoam and then the computations from crank angle -40 to 40 with just some small
modifications of the tutorial case.

But when I load the case in paraView3.3.1 I cannot see the flame itself, only how the colour of the walls and bottom of the cylinder mesh is changed (for example for Xi or b).

Is there anyone who knows how to 'see' the flame itself? (As if I have forgotten the interior part of the cylinder) Maybe there are some alternatives I need to mark in the 'display' menu for the case in paraView3.3.1?

Any hints are very welcome!

Thanks,

Johan
