This case is an example OpenFOAM setup for calculating the Ignition Delay Time (IDT) of 4 component diesel surrogate mechanism developed by chang
The simulation is performed using chemFoam, a zero-dimensional homogeneous reactor solver available in OpenFOAM. The case is configured to evaluate the autoignition behavior of the fuel blend under specified thermodynamic conditions.

Case Description
Solver: chemFoam
Application: Ignition Delay Time (IDT) prediction
Reactor Type: Zero-dimensional homogeneous reactor

Initial Conditions
The example case is configured for:
Initial Temperature: 900 k
Initial Pressure: 6 atm

Fuel parameter
This case study uses the surrogate B as a fuel which is developed by chang at the equivalence ratio of 0.5 and air is taken as oxidiser
