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.

How I can evaluate the Heat release (W/m3) of the reactions if I’m using the FGM model in Fluent? Is there a way to access the FGM heat release from UDF?

      In R19.2 and forward the heat release rate is stored directly in the FGM tables for post-processing. This value (in J/m3/s) is the summation over species for (H_f_j/Mw_j)*(w_dot_j) where j is the species index and w_dot_j is the volumetric rate for species j. (That is similar to the energy equation source term due to reaction). You can also now access this value for post-processing from a DEFINE_PDF_TABLE UDF. Do do it, just use this call: real HRR = Get_Pdf_HeatReleaserate (c, t);
