Symmetryplane or wedge

Suliman · April 24, 2019, 13:56

Imagine stimulation of laminar flame (in e.g Bunsen burner in 2D since the problem is axi-symmetric) - the real geometry is more complex so many blocks are needed. I have to option to use half a plane in xy plane and extrude it along z (small thickness) and choose the xz plane as Symmetryplane. Or use the wedge (which there is no good tutorial that explain it fully)

Will there be a big difference? suggestions?

Were u able to set the bunsen burner case. I haverun some simulations on it using reacting foam single step chemistry. But the temperature profiles are nonphysical. If you have your case setup kindly share.
