NEW: FlameMaster v3.3.10: A C++ Computer Program for 0D Combustion and 1D Laminar Flame Calculations
(Developed by H. Pitsch)
The new version 3.3.10 installs on LINUX and Mac OSX based computers, but now also on windows computers. Fortran compilers are no longer required (Version 3.3.10 fixes some installation issues on different machines and provides better description for windows installation).
Version 3.3.10 also adds the perfectly stirred reactor as a new supported configuration.
NOTES for previous users:
1. Because of the use of CVODE instead of DASSL, the installation procedure has slightly changed.
2. Version 3.3.9 originally used CVODE version 2.5.0 (or sundials package version 2.3.0). The new CVODE version 2.6.0 (sundials version 2.4.0) and later requires different function calls. This is now the default But older CVODE version can still be used. This is described in the README file.
The package includes:
-
Homogeneous reactor or plug flow reactor
-
Steady counterflow diffusion flames with potential flow or plug flow boundary conditions
-
Freely propagating premixed flame
-
Steady flamelet equation
-
Unsteady flamelet equations
