By Luka Denies Delft University of Technology (MSc student)

OpenFOAM addition to use tabulated properties for thermophysical properties Implemented:

  • equationOfState (rho, psi, Z, cpMcv)
  • thermo (cp, ha, hs)
  • transport (mu, kappa, alphah)

Requires a table in pressure and temperature for:

  • density (rho)
  • specific heat (cp)
  • specific heat difference (cpMcv)
  • enthalpy (h)
  • viscosity (mu)
  • thermal conductivity (kappa) These should be located in the constant directory

Two tutorial cases are located in the run directory:

  • "pizzarelli" shows a numerical validation (described in Sec. 5.1 of the MSc thesis by Luka Denies)
  • "MTP_TC24" shows an experimental validation (described in Sec. 5.3 of the MSc thesis by Luka Denies)
