Hello everyone!

I am currently working on the turbulent combustion (premixed and stratified) modelling, and I have some difficulties in openFOAM language programming.

I created a member function e.g. internalPhi() (which calculates the local equivalence ratio field) in the inhomogeneousMixture class. I need to visualize the Phi field in my solver (which is based on XiFoam or engineFoam), but I could not figure out how to call the inhomogeneousMixture class in XiFoam.

There are some hints in calling the member functions for turbulence model, e.g. in the createField.H

autoPtr<compressible::turbulenceModel> turbulence
(
compressible::turbulenceModel::New
(
rho,
U,
phi,
thermo
)
);

Then we can use "turbulence->k()" in the solver.

Another example is in createField.H
autoPtr<hhuCombustionThermo> pThermo
(
hhuCombustionThermo::New(mesh)
);

hhuCombustionThermo& thermo = pThermo();
Then we can use "thermo.rho()" in the solver.

But I couldn't find any example of creating a MixtureType (inhomogeneousMixture). Does anyone have idea about how to call inhomogeneousMixture.func() in XiFoam solver? Thanks!

Hello, have you succeed in this? If so, could you tell me how to use this. Also , I would like to ask that on what situation you use 'inhomogeneousMixture'?
