Reacting Flow
Chemical reaction modeling, especially in turbulent conditions, has been a hallmark of FLUENT software since its inception. FLUENT uses newer models such as the eddy dissipation concept, PDF transport and stiff finite rate chemistry models, as well as mature models such as the eddy dissipation, equilibrium mixture fraction, flamelet and premixed combustion models. A vast array of gaseous, coal and liquid fuel combustion simulations can be tackled. Models for the prediction of SOx formation and NOx formation and destruction are also available. FLUENT's surface reaction capability allows for reactions between gas and surface species, as well as between different species, so that deposition and etching can be rigorously predicted. FLUENT's reaction models can also be used in conjunction with the LES and DES turbulence models.
