Hi, I'm just implementing r
 

Hi,

I'm just implementing real gas thermodynamics into the reactingFoam solver and I have some problems with the operator declaration in janafThermoI.H and janafThermo.H.

Up to now I made the following modifications:

I changed the standard Chemkin format of therm.inp to make it able to read the critical properties in addition to the standard values form the prescribed file.

Form those data I calculated two coefficients needed to get a 'real' density. One of those coefficients is temperature dependent, therefore I gave the memberfunction cellMixture in multiComponentMixture.C the temperature as an additional parameter and gernerated a new operator, which should calculate this second coefficient form the temperature. Unfortunately I didn't succeed in running this properly.

What I did is to copy the operator* like it is implemented in the standard version

template<class>
inline janafThermo<equationofstate> operator*
(
const scalar s,
const janafThermo<equationofstate>& jt
)
{
return janafThermo<equationofstate>
(
s*static_cast<const>(jt),
jt.Tlow_,
jt.Thigh_,
jt.Tcommon_,
jt.Tc_,
jt.pc_,
jt.omega_,
jt.bPR_,
jt.a0PR_,
jt.kappaPR_,
jt.highCpCoeffs_,
jt.lowCpCoeffs_
);
}

and defined an operator% which lookes a very similar. I added this operator in everyfile, where the operator* is also mentioned.

template<class>
inline janafThermo<equationofstate> operator%
(
const scalar T,
const janafThermo<equationofstate>& jt
)
{
return janafThermo<equationofstate>
(
static_cast<const>(jt),
jt.Tlow_,
jt.Thigh_,
jt.Tcommon_,
jt.Tc_,
jt.pc_,
jt.omega_,
jt.bPR_,
jt.a0PR_*T,
jt.kappaPR_,
jt.highCpCoeffs_,
jt.lowCpCoeffs_
);
}

Compiling of the specie library is no problem, and I also can call this new operator in multicomponent mixture by, for example

mixture_ = T%speciesData[0];

without getting an error, but it doesn't do anything!!!

Is it possible that it is simply not allowed to redefine the % operator??? Is there any operator I could use instead?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Best regards,
