Hi,

I'm trying to modify the PDRFoam solver to run without the "ignition" utility and instead initialize a burnt gas field and let the code calculate the other fields accordingly.

By modifying, I mean that I simply removed the if(ign.ignite) instances in the code to let it always run (I did this in the bEqn, EauEqn, and removed the reading of the ignition properties in readCombustionProperties.H).

The solver compiles, but when I start the solver, the time loop doesn't start at all. Here's the log:

No fvModels present
No fvConstraints present
Courant Number mean: 0 max: 0

Starting time loop

end

I added a little print statement after the loop to make sure that's the problem:

Info << "\nStarting time loop\n" << endl;

while (pimple.run(runTime))
{
Info << "\nEntering time loop\n" << endl;
}


This makes me think that the pimple.run(runTime) condition isn't satisfied. I have the feeling that the ignition utility is also in charge of starting the code because in ignition.H, Time.H is included, but I can't tell more than this.

If anyone is familiar with XiFoam, PDRFoam, or any combustion solver and has any remarks that could guide me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
