Hello,

If we use reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam to simulate the pulverized coal combustion, we will assume that the solid coal particle phase to be the dispersed phase. Typically the coal pharticle phase is composed of multiple components, i.e. char, volatile and ash. So here since it is assumed to be a fluid, in the openfoam we need to specify the equationOfState, so here what type of EoS should we use for the particle phase?

In constant/thermophysicalProperties.particles of reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam simulations, we have the following:

thermoType
{
    type            heRhoThermo;
    mixture         multiComponentMixture;
    transport       const;
    thermo          hConst;
    equationOfState perfectFluid;
    specie          specie;
    energy          sensibleInternalEnergy;
}

Anybody has used reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam for coal combustion simulations?

Thank you in advance!

best regards,
OFFO
