Chapter 7: Combustion Theory

This chapter covers the implementation of the combustion models in the CFX-Solver and extends the ideas covered in Multicomponent Flow. You should be familiar with the multicomponent flow chapter before reading this section.

The following sections outline the basis of the implementation of combustion modeling in CFX. First, the transport equations for energy and the components are revisited, then the chemical reaction rate computation is described, and finally, the computation of the rate of progress of a chemical reaction is explained in the context of the Eddy Dissipation and Finite Rate Chemistry Models. Extinction is modeled by setting the reaction rate locally to zero.
