reactingPbeFoam is a transient multiphase solver for compressible, turbulent, reactive systems. The solver focuses on modeling the physicochemical processes related to particles in flows, with the population balance equation (PBE) and quadrature-based moment method (QBMM).
The code is developed and maintained by the PhD student Cao Chenyang.
The solver features:
- Compatibility with various turbulence and combustion models provided by the OpenFOAM (https://www.openfoam.com)
- Efficient soot modeling with multiple QBMM methods by integrating the OpenQBMM package (https://github.com/OpenQBMM/OpenQBMM)
- Incorporation of a comprehensive set of state-of-art soot models
- Turbulent closure of soot source terms
- Decomposition of soot formation and detailed tracking of each sooting subprocess
- Extension to other kinds of particles that can be resolved by the PBE and QBMM
