DLBFoam-Advanced-Tutorials

This repository provides advanced tutorial cases which demonstrate the scaling capability and computational efficiency of the DLBFoam library, a radically fast detailed chemistry solver for OpenFOAM.

The detailed discussion and validation of the provided tutorial cases are openly available in Ref. [1]

Tutorial cases

The provided tutorial cases represent the following:

• Two-dimensional reacting shear layer
• Three-dimensional stratified combustion
• Engine Combustion Network Spray A
• Sandia flame D

As there are many more experimental benchmarks of various combustion phenomena that have not been tested, we would be happy to receive your contribution using the DLBFoam and reporting the speed-up and scaling effects against standard solvers.

Citation

If you use our tutorial cases, please cite the paper discussing these test cases [1], together with the original DLBFoam paper, also noted in Ref. [2].
