1 About
The extension makes water properties based on the IAPWS-IF97 (doi: 10.1115/1.483186) definition available for OpenFOAM (R) solvers of the compressible buoyant* family, such as buoyantPimpleFoam. The extension is based on the work for the real gas branch of openfoam-ext-1.6. The water properties come from the C-library freesteam.
2 Installation
2.1 Prerequisited
- Full installation of OpenFOAM >=2.2 from http://www.openfoam.org
- Installed freesteam >=2.0 from http://freesteam.sourceforge.net/
2.2 Installing IAPWS-IF97-OF
Open a command line window and navigate to directory you would like to store the source code for IAPWS-IF97-OF. Then run the following commands in a command line on your computer
# git clone https://github.com/romansCode/IAPWS-IF97-OF.git
# cd IAPWS-IF97-OF
# wclean && wmake libso
3 Usage
- add libIAPWSRangeThermo.so and libfreesteam.so to the libraries in controlDict
libs
{
"libIAPWSRangeThermo.so"
"libfreesteam.so"
}
- In the the thermophysicalProperties file, which can also be found in the example folder in the source code use the following.
thermoType
{
type heRhoThermo; // Thermophysical model based on sensible enthalpy
mixture pureMixture; // Only water
transport IAPWSTransport; // (mu, k)
thermo hIAPWS; // (Cp)
equationOfState eosIAPWS; // (rho)
specie specie;
energy sensibleEnthalpy;
}
// outside the pressure and temperature range, the properties will be capped to
// the min and max values at the range limits
mixture
{
IAPWSProperties
{
pMax 300e5; // max allowed pressure
pMin 221e5; // min allowed pressure
}
specie
{
nMoles 1;
molWeight 18; // Water
}
}
- The pressure limits can be used to stabilise the computations at startup, however, they are not necessary and can be set to the limits of the properties table (for 0 < T < 800 deg C p<100 MPa and for 800 < T < 2000 deg C p < 10 MPa).
