Hello everyone,

I am a new user of OpenFOAM and have been learning it for about six months. I am a first-year PhD student, and my PI instructed me to learn OpenFOAM, specifically the fireFoam solver.

I am trying to compile a solver that can model soot movement. I have noticed that the sootModel class is declared as a subclass of the radiationModel. When I turn off the radiationModel, the solver does not solve the sootModel. My goal is to access the sootModel even when the radiationModel is off.

I apologize if my explanation is unclear or incorrect; I am new to the world of CFD, OpenFOAM, and C++.

Thank you for your understanding. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have attached the source code based on OpenFOAM v2306.
