2.2 Description

The diffusivityModels library contains a series of classes to compute binary diffusion coefficients (ChapmanEnskog, Wilke, Fuller, Constant) and Knudsen diffusion coefficients for porous media. The multiSpeciesTransportModels library contains a series of models to compute diffusive fluxes (SchmidtNumber, LewisNumber, FickDilutedMixture, Fick, MaxwellStefan).

There are few differences between this library and the paper. Below one can find a short documentation that also describes this differences. The library comes with a solver (a modified version of reactingFoam that can use the multi-species mass library) and with a simple test case for methane laminar combustion (special thanks to Silvano Pautasso). The ./install script copies and compiles all files respectively in $FOAM_USER/lib, $FOAM_USER/applications and $FOAM_USER/run.

Keywords: diffusion, reactingFoam

2.3 Code

The library is fully integrated with OpenFOAM®-1.6-ext.
