I'm trying to use OpenFOAM to solve a fairly simple reacting system that has been reported in the literature and that works fine in Fluent using the eddy dissipation model. If I set this up with my reaction kinetics and run it with chemFoam (single box, time dependent) it works fine. In reactingFoam the reaction is too slow and the reaction rates are about 10 times smaller than expected. Since this will be part of combustion system, I've tried the PaSR model and kappa is always essentially 1.
When I try to dig deeper, i.e. print statements in chemistryModel.C, I can recompile and link to the new .so file but it doesn't recognize my changes. I'm working with version 5 compiled in debug mode. If I compile my own version of reactingFoam and use Visual Studio Code in debugger mode, it only gives me access the variables in the included C code, i.e. not chemistryModel.C.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot these types of problems?
