Thermal Dissociation in Star-CCM+

Shah Akib Sarwar · April 19, 2021, 15:36

Could somebody please guide me on how to account for thermal dissociation at high temperatures (~5000 K) in Star-CCM+? The gases in my model are H2, H20 and Air. As I am fairly new to using Star-CCM+, any help in this regard would be much appreciated!

You need a kinetic model. Do you have one? Something like a chemkin file.

You need to turn on multicomponent gas and species transport models and detailed chemistry if you want to brute force it.

I do not have a kinetic model. Actually, I have never used chemkin before.

For brute forcing, did you mean choosing multi-component gas-->reacting-->reacting species transport-->complex chemistry from the physics models? What should I choose for turbulence chemistry interactions (Eddy dissipation or laminar flame)?
