Hello,
I am using XiFoam to simulate premixed combustion. Could someone please tell me how to create a perfectly spherical ignition point. I thought that setting ignitionSphereFraction to 1 would do the work. But, OpenFoam is creating hemispherical ignition for any values of ignitionSphereFraction. How do we control the shape of the initial ignition region?

Thanking you,
Achinta
