Cell Heat Release Output for post processing

kahjoonyong · August 28, 2017, 12:03

Hello,

I am currently simulating a Cabra flame with the following setup.

However I could see no option to output the Heat Release as a cell variable instead of a global variable in thermo.out. Could anyone shed a light on how to output Heat Released for each cell into post processing variable?

You can declare the chemical source term applied to a cell using a non-transport parameter "chem_src" in species.in. Then you can include this as a post variable in post.in to view in any post processing software.

Thanks,

Thank you very much SamWijey! I will try this out tomorrow.
