Implementation of the eddy dissipation model of turbulent non-premixed combustion in OpenFOAM

This work discusses the implementation of eddy dissipation model in OpenFOAM CFD toolbox. The code was validated in modeling of confined non-premixed Methane jet flame. The model predictions were extensively compared against published experimental results as well as ANSYS Fluent (R) predictions. The differences between the implemented model in OpenFOAM and Fluent were demonstrated. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
