September 23, 2016, 13:58	why product species are given in 0 folder in reactingFoam	#1
sahmed Member Sheikh Ahmed Join Date: Dec 2015 Location: South Carolina, USA Posts: 88 Rep Power: 10	Hello all I have a quick question to the reactingFoam users. In the tutorial case where CH4+Air->CO2+H2O reaction is taking place, the initial and boundary conditions of the products CO2 and H2O are also specified even through all the values are zero. Could anyone tell me why do I need to specify the products also? The reactant conditions should be enough as far as I know. If I skip that, will that be a problem? Also, if I use a multi-step reaction mechanism, then it wont be possible to provide files for all the products. What should I do in that case? PLEASE share any of your comment or suggestion.
