This case is an example of OpenFOAM setup for calculating the laminar flame speed of 4 component blend (n-decane, iso-octane, methylcyclohexane (MCH),
and toluene) surrogate for diesel fuel.

The simulation is performed using reactingFoam and is configured as a one-dimensional freely propagating premixed flame. The resulting flame structure can be used to determine the laminar flame speed and analyze combustion characteristics of the fuel blend.

Case Description

Fuel blend: N-decane + iso-octane + methylcyclohexane(MCH) + tolune

oxidiser: air

fuel to air mass ratio: 0.06 (the user can keep their desired f/a ratio by  changing the     fuel and oxidiser mass fraction which is defined in setFields file)

Solver: reactingFoam

Application: Laminar flame speed prediction

Dimension: One-dimensional premixed flame


case execution: This example case is configured to run in serial by default, as the provided Allrun script does not include parallel execution commands. This ensures compatibility with systems having limited computational resources.

surrogate detail: This example case is a validation of skeletal mechanism surrogate B developed by chang
