HOW COULD BE A MIXTURE IN reactingFoam IGNITED?

Hello Mojtaba, set an initi
 

Hello Mojtaba,

set an initial temperature and a composition which will ignite. E.g. start the calculation without reaction and use setField to set the temperature at a ignition point to say 1500K.

hi thank you for advice
 

hi

thank you for advice

but with an initial high temperature the domain will be purged after some time steps.

this is not the way

I want a better method(to ignite)

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLS.!

IS NOT HERE ANY ONE TO SHARE EXPERIENCE ON THIS!!?

I think you have to look into
 

I think you have to look into diesel foam for this. Mixture is ignited over there. You can view its tutorial file to get an idea about ignition and stuff.

this is not the way you mentio
 

this is not the way you mentioned Arun.
ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Yes, I have a suggestion. stop using caps!!!

After that you can go here and have a look.

thanks alot Nordin, it seems to be useful.
but if a better trick could be applied instead of increasing enthalpy I think it would be better,because in some circumstances temperature rises above of therm.dat limits (3500) and we have a janaf thermo error

thank you!

But this does not solve the problem NIKLAS!

Janaf thermo error still remains after enthalpy increase

Niklas

you must first compute temprature after:
h[ignCell] += ignSite.strength()*magH;

then evaluate enthalpy increase(enthalpy icrease must not cause T>3500),and after that apply:

h[ignCell] += ignSite.strength()*magH;

Another vague problem: Duri
 

Another vague problem:

During parallel run the term "ignSites.cells()" in file "ignite.H" returns no cell and ignition does not occur.

but with a single cpu there is no problem.

Any suggestions!!!

it does not depend on the number of cpus or the method of decomposition.

I thinks the problem arises when this function

"meshSearch::findCell" is called.

Is my guess true?

Any suggestion is appreciated!

hi to everyone
i am new to openfoam, i am using openfoam1.4, i want to solve simple methane combustion problem so which solver can i use for solving in openfoam.. already i solved in fluent... plz reply me
