The NUS RYrhoCentralFoam Suite is developed by the Computational Combustion and Energy Group based on the rhoCentralFoam solver in the open-source codes OpenFOAM to study multi-phase, multi-component, compressible and reacting flows. It started in 2018 and has been improved / optimized when we used for our own research so far. It can be used for modelling the scientific problems related to fuel combustion, industrial explosion/detonation, hydrogen energy safety, and other kinds of heterogeneous flames laden with liquid droplets or solid particles. A hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian method is used to model the continuous gas phase with discrete droplet phase. Moreover, the sub-grid scale combustion models for LES of the Eulerian phase are also incorporated with RYrhoCentralFoam, including laminar chemistry model, flamelet-type tabulated chemistry model, and interfaced with the multiple mapping conditioning (MMC) model. In addition, Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) is also available for RYrhoCentralFOAM for two- and three-dimensional flow problems. We also develop a series of post-processing utility OpenFOAM codes for RYrhoCentralFoam simulations.
The current contributors for RYrhoCentralFoam include Huangwei Zhang, Majie Zhao, Yong Xu, Zhiwei Huang, Qingyang Meng, Pikai Zhang, Hongbo Guo, and Shangpeng Li from our group. For any inquires, please send an email to Dr Huangwei Zhang (huangwei.zhang@nus.edu.sg).
Applications: (1) hydrogen safety problems, e.g., ignition, DDT and detonation/explosion, as well as explosion mitigation. (2) detonation engines.

Below we showcased a range of benchmark cases to test the capacity of RYrhoCentralFoam for simulating moderately dense two-phase flows. FIve experiments from various research groups are modelled and their results are presented. Currently, our solver can accurately predict the two-phase flows with the discrete phase volume fraction up to 10%-20% (covering dilute and collision dominated two-phase flows).
