I am modelling combustion at micro combustor with heptane fuel. it contain 25 species and 34 reaction. i am using laminar, simple and first order scheme with pressure based solver. I am getting higher flame temperature of more than 2500K while in experiment it is around 1700K.
Help is appreciated

hello,

Have you ever met the fluent complaining about 'divergence detected in AMG solver: temperature' before.

I am doing a MICRO-combustor simulation. The mechanism is GRI 3.0 and methane surface mechanism.

I have tried a lot of methods to overcome this problem. however, nothing works.

Do you have some experience on how to get convergent results?

thanks

Which Combustion-Model have you choosen?

finite rate model

Once I used the eddy-dissipation-model and also get a to high temperature. I changed the cp values of the species to polynomal and put the right values in and the problem was fixed

In a lot of literatures, authors would use finite rate model for laminar micro-combustor.

Did you use eddy dissipation model to solve it?

My answer is just based on the high temperature problem, the model I solved was a different problem
