ANSYS Forte simulation for Soot Tracking runs well with the reaction mechanism Diesel_2comp_189sp__soot-particle-tracking.cks obtained from the Forte fuel library. However, if the reaction mechanism is changed to a third party biodiesel mechanism, the simulation fails when soot model is activated but runs when the soot model is deactivated.<\/p>\n
The biodiesel mechanism is developed and published by Wang et al. 2015 (A Skeletal Mechanism of a Biodiesel Surrogate Fuel for Compression Ignition Engines; Energy and Fuels 2015, Xin Wang, Haifeng Liu, Zunqing Zheng, and Mingfa Yao).<\/p>\n
If the soot model is deactivated the simulation proceeds to completion, indicating that the problem could be that the soot models in ANSYS Forte (Two-Step model & Method of Moments) cannot interpret the soot sub-mechanism in the reaction mechanism.<\/p>\n
I experience the same challenge when I try to use the Two-step soot model in ANSYS Forte with a biodiesel reaction mechanism developed by Zhang et al. 2020, which has a two-step soot model for biodiesel combustion (i.e. Lei Zhang, Xiaohua Ren, Zhigang Lan. A reduced reaction mechanism of biodiesel surrogates with low temperature chemistry for multidimensional engine simulation. Combustion and Flame 212 (2020) 377–387).<\/p>\n
Kindly advise on what I need to do to solve the soot model for the third party reaction mechanism in my simulations. <\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n
Kind regards,<\/p>\n
