Extensions for newer OpenFOAM versions to include the common real gas equations of state. Implementation of the common cubic equations of state Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson and Redlich-Kwong-Peng-Robinson using a generalised formulation of cubic equations of state. On branch esi
for OpenFOAM-v2112 and OpenFOAM-v2206 (see tags) and on branch org
for OpenFOAM 10.
Check out the desired branch org
or esi
.
- Download OpenFOAM version - Important: Please download the source code in order to be able to later modify it (e.g. OpenFOAM v2112 can be downloaded under https://dl.openfoam.com/source/v2112/)
- Compile it on your laptop or workstation (Attention: This takes about 4 hours)
After successful compilation:
- Add the files from the corresponding repository, link them and recompile.
- Run the test case tutorials.
For further details on the thermodynamic model and a validation of the implementations, we refer to the corresponding paper Trummler et al., Thermodynamic modeling for numerical simulations based on the generalized cubic equation of state.
If you use the OpenFOAM extensions provided here for your work, cite the corresponding paper: Trummler, T., Glatzle, M., Doehring, A., Urban, N., Klein, M.,Thermodynamic modeling for numerical simulations based on the generalized cubic equation of state.
