Would it be possible to add the radiation model into the reactinFoam solver?
 

Hello all,

we are using very successful reactingfoam for our combustion simulation. So we are thinking about to implement the radiation model as realized in the buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam solver for reactingfoam. We have no knowledge in programming our own solver and we are not familiar with the foam programming concept. So we would like to know how big is the effort to extend reactingfoam with the radition model of buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam? Is it like copy paste from buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam or is it something which should implemented completely new by the scratch?

Many thanks for you comments and best regards.

o.k., 10 min later I've compiled a version! I'm not sure if it's realy so simple. :confused: I will try to set up a case...! Feel free to test it too.

Can you kindly let me know if you got your case working properly?

Here below i found links on how to add radiation into reactingfoam:
