Hey!

I would like to change the value of the universal gas constant, which appears in openfoam-2.4.x as NA*k = 8314.47 and in some other references as 8314.4621 etc. (May have an effect in my testing atm.)

I found out that I can access to the universal constants via controlDict by adding:

DimensionedConstants
{
    unitSet             SI; // USCS

    SICoeffs
    {
        physicoChemical
        {
            R               R [1 2 -2 -1 -1 0 0] XXXXXXX;
        }
   }
}

When I run the case in the beginning I get a message that solver is overridinng DimensionedConstants and whatever I input is shown correctly.

However then in actual solution part e.g. R is still the original 8.31447 instead of the value in controlDict.

Any ideas how to change R otherwise?

How do you know that your solver is using old value?

Hey!

I print the the R in the solver routine.
