flameFoam
Hydrogen-air premixed turbulent combustion solver for OpenFOAM v9:
- Progress variable approach
- TFC and ETFC models for RANS with Zimont, Bradley and Bray correlations
- Laminar burning velocity can be set by user (constant value) or estimated using Malet correlation (for lean mixtures only) or custom DNN model (for dry mixtures only)
- FSD model for LES with Charlette correlation
Compilation
Solver is compiled using wmake command. OpenFOAM v9 needs to be installed.
