reactingMixture invalid mixture type in openFoam 9

pspk · December 3, 2021, 23:29

When I try to run a combustion code with reactingFoam solver in OpenFOAM 9, it is throwing a Fatal error saying the mixture type of "reactingMixture" is not valid. But the same mixture type and code works fine in the OpenFOAM 7. The OpenFoam 9 user guide also illustrates the reactingMixture type but I can't understand why it is showing this error. Can anyone help me fix this?

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Unknown mixture type reactingMixture
Supported mixture types:

(
pureMixture

multiComponentMixture

)

"reactingMixture" is changed to "multiComponentMixture" in version 9. Perhaps, the user guide missed to update this section.

Hello, Thanks for the response. I have tried using multiComponentMixture and other alternatives in the new version as well, but none of them recreate the same result (accurate) as the reacting mixture simulation.
