The combustion and chemistry models no longer select and own the
thermodynamic model; they hold a reference instead. The construction of
the combustion and chemistry models has been changed to require a
reference to the thermodyanmics, rather than the mesh and a phase name.
At the solver-level the thermo, turbulence and combustion models are now
selected in sequence. The cyclic dependency between the three models has
been resolved, and the raw-pointer based post-construction step for the
combustion model has been removed.
The old solver-level construction sequence (typically in createFields.H)
was as follows:
autoPtr<combustionModels::psiCombustionModel> combustion
(
combustionModels::psiCombustionModel::New(mesh)
);
psiReactionThermo& thermo = combustion->thermo();
// Create rho, U, phi, etc...
autoPtr<compressible::turbulenceModel> turbulence
(
compressible::turbulenceModel::New(rho, U, phi, thermo)
);
combustion->setTurbulence(*turbulence);
The new sequence is:
autoPtr<psiReactionThermo> thermo(psiReactionThermo::New(mesh));
// Create rho, U, phi, etc...
autoPtr<compressible::turbulenceModel> turbulence
(
compressible::turbulenceModel::New(rho, U, phi, *thermo)
);
autoPtr<combustionModels::psiCombustionModel> combustion
(
combustionModels::psiCombustionModel::New(*thermo, *turbulence)
);

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
