dahlia-2005 is on a distinguished road
I am trying to import GRImech3.0 to reactingFoam, and I use the chemkintoFoam utility. The thermo30.dat can be changed to thermo.compressibleGas(When I added "All" in the back of "THERMO" in the thermo30.dat ) successfully.

but the simulated highest temperature is so low (<1500K ). I do not konw the reason, and I can not find the solution from CFD-online-openfoam.

Anyone can help me? thank you in advance.

Hi,

The discrepancy in temperature field could be due to many reasons when using reactingFoam solver. Do mention more details of your case to get proper advice.

Hi,nakul, Thank you for your reply.
I have tried an example case for reactingFoam:/ http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Tu...._firstTutorial. In this case, the fuel gas is C7H16 (290 reactions), my simulation result is reasonable.

so I modified the format of two files(gimech30.data and thermo30.dat) of GRI_Mech3.0 according to this case(see the attached files), but the errors are as follows:

I have no ideas about this error. Then I tried to use chemkintoFoam utility, but the simulated temperature is so low as I have said .

I think I did not provide the correct format of GRI_Mech3.0 to Openfoam, but I do not know how to do it. can you give me some suggestion or give me the correct input format of GRI3.0? thank you very much!

Probably your chemistry uses a species that is not in the table of thermophysical data. What you shared here with us is a part of those existing species. Which species it was looking for is at the top of the error message (which you didn't hsare with us)

But I doubt that your thermo.dat is used. I havn't counted them but there is no way that there are 820 species in there (the file doesn't even have that many lines)

Hi

As Bernhard pointed out there might be some problem with your "thermoPhysicalProperties" file. Share your case and we'll see what can be done.

Hi Foamers

I have the same problem and the same error while using GRI mech 3 (chemkin format)
is there a GRI mech 3 and thermodynamics of it with foam reader format which we can download and use?

Hi Dahila

In the OF171 userguide it said that chemkinToFoam
"Converts CHEMKIN 3 thermodynamics and reaction data files
into OpenFOAM format
"
I think one of the problems is that the chem.inp(GRI 3 mechanism) is in the chemkin II format.

someone can help me on using the files chem.inp and therm.dat (GRI mech 3 and its thermo file) in openfoam?
the chemkin reader also cant read these files

Hi,Ali, I did not solve this problem.
but I heard that OF1.5-dev+cantera can be used to simulate methane combution, so I am just trying to do it, I think you can search some information about cantera if you like.

Dear dahila

I used DRM22 http://www.me.berkeley.edu/drm/ -which is a reduced version of GRI mech 1.2 with 22 species- for methane combustion with OF171 and OF15dev successfully but DRM22 does not have NOX and i decided to use GRI mech 3 and it was the time my problems start

if u don’t want to analyze Nox formation I advise u to use this mechanism.
I dont want to use nor cantera neither chemkin,I must use OF171 or OF15dev in my project and the problems always occur when there is some MUST or MUST not.....

Ali,thanks a lot!

just now I downloaded drm.dat and thermo12.dat,

In the example case for reactingFoam:/ http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Tu...._firstTutorial.I changed the fuel gas to CH4, and used drm.dat (chem.inp)and thermo12.dat (thermo.dat) in "chemkin" directory, but when I run the case, there is an error,

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

so how should I modified
drm.dat and thermo12.dat? thanks again!

Hi

u should do some modifications first,
1.replace CH2(s) with CH2S in chem.inp and therm.dat
2.use the dieselFoam tutorial (aachenBomb) therm.dat

I place the corrected files here also

These are the chem.inp and therm.dat files for using DRM22 mech

Ali, it is so kind of you.

but when I use your kineticFiles, there is still an error:

CH2S has been in therm.dat. I guess I should modify anything else?
thank you very much!

Hi

I check these files now and there was no error!
check your thermophysical properties file u use the right file(therm.txt and chem.txt)
I've confused with this error,I cheked these files in OF171 and I've used them in OF15dev also
really dont know whats the proplem!!!

Hi,Ali, I changed the location of the CHEMKINThermoFile from
"~OpenFOAM/thermoData/therm.dat" to "$FOAM_CASE/chemkin/therm.dat", Is that true?

then my case can be run now . If the result is resonable, I will tell you. I am very grateful for your help.

but in case of "aachenBomb" (dieselFoam tutorial), the location of the CHEMKINThermoFile is "~OpenFOAM/thermoData/therm.dat", I can not understand. Do you know where is "~OpenFOAM/thermoData/therm.dat"?

so maybe GRI3.0 could be used if we modify it correctly.

The location of the kinetic and thermo file is not important,you should just write the right path of the files in the thermophysical properties file
