We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Vijay, thanks for yor answer.

I don't understand your question; the "Chemical Equilibrum" or "Steady Diffusion Flamelet" are available for Non-premixed models. Here I'm using the Species Transport model, with GRI Mech 3.0 and EDC. 

In the 1st case I had ignition : with a wall at 2000 K starting the ignition. The geometry had a bluff, which increase turbulence and so enable ignition.

In the 2nd case, I just removed the bluff, and keep the wall at 2000K. With this geometry, I don’t have ignition. I guess this is because there is less turbulences due to the bluff removed, while EDC needs turbulences to start chemical reactions (= ignition). I don’t know how to do… 

I want to use the GRI Mech (so I need species transport model). I already tried to patch a high temperature, and all species at 0.01, but it’s also not working.

Even when I don’t put a volumetric reaction, or just the Eddy Dissipation model, I don’t have ignition.

 

Thanks for your help
