This case is an example OpenFOAM setup for calculating the laminar flame speed of an iso-octane/ethanol binary fuel mixture using a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism.

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: Iso-octane + Ethanol binary mixture
Solver: reactingFoam
Application: Laminar flame speed prediction
Chemistry: Detailed chemical kinetic mechanism with PLOG reactions
Dimension: One-dimensional premixed flame
Prerequisites

This case requires a custom PLOG library because OpenFOAM does not natively evaluate Arrhenius PLOG expressions. The PLOG support library from Lund University must be installed before running the case. Instructions to this has been given in the 'readme.txt' inside the simulationCase Folder.

Download the library from:
https://github.com/Fluid-Mechanics-Lund-University/plogs

The repository provides PLOG support for multiple OpenFOAM versions.
