Initializing the translational and rotational temperatures of the gas in dsmcFoam -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

November 29, 2021, 23:14	Initializing the translational and rotational temperatures of the gas in dsmcFoam	#1
rafr894 New Member KristianRanta Join Date: Oct 2016 Location: Sundsvall Posts: 29 Rep Power: 10	How can the translational and rotational temperatures for a given gas/gas mixture can be initialized in dsmcFoam. I am trying to study the equilibration of the two temperatures in a cubic domain with specular reflecting walls. I tried setting the temperatures using "translationalT" and "internalT" in the dsmcInitialize file in the system folder for the case, but that didn't work. Is there a way to intialize the temperatures in the 0 folder? What am I missing? Thanks.
