Flamelet Table XY Plots Reference

You can create XY Plots to visualize the values that are stored in a flamelet table for each variable. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides two methods of extracting the data from the multi-dimensional table. The first method interpolates and plots the data from the table based on the specified values of variables such as Heat Loss Ratio, Mixture Fraction, Mixture Fraction Variance etc. The second method plots only the actual points stored in the table.

New Plot

Creates an XY Plot which allows you to visualize the variable that you select from the stored flamelet table—appears as a [Variable] child node. Note that for the Three Stream Tables there are two Mixture Fractions.

The following XY plots are available to specify:

ACoeff: Thermal NOx coefficient A in Eqn. (3627).
BCoeff: Thermal NOx coefficient B in Eqn. (3627).
CCoeff: Thermal NOx coefficient C in Eqn. (3627).
DCoeff: Thermal NOx coefficient D in Eqn. (3627).
Density
Dynamic Viscosity
Enthalpy: Enthalpy $h$ is defined as sensible (thermal) enthalpy $h_{s e n s}$ , plus chemical (heat of formation) enthalpy $h_{c h e m}$ .
Laminar Flame Speed: Laminar flame speed, $S_{u}$ in Eqn. (3548). Available when the flamelet table Reactor Type is set to 1D Premixed Freely Propagating.
Mass Fraction of [SPECIES]: Mass fraction of the [species] that is set as a Species For Tabulation in the flamelet table.
Mixture Fraction 0: The mixture fraction $Z_{0}$ in Eqn. (3490). When a third stream is specified, plots normalize the bottom axis of mixture fraction by $\frac{Z_{0}}{(1 - Z_{1})}$ so that the axis ranges from 0 to 1.
Mixture Fraction 1: (Only available when a third stream is specified). The secondary mixture fraction $Z_{1}$ in Eqn. (3491). The tables are normalized, so the value of mixture fraction ranges from 0 to 1. When plotting table values versus secondary mixture fraction, the bottom axis of the plot that is fixed when extracting the data is $\frac{Z_{1}}{(1 - Z_{0})}$ .
Mixture Fraction Variance 0
Mixture Fraction Variance 1: (Only available when a third stream is specified).
Molecular Diffusivity
Molecular Weight
Progress Variable Source Term: The unnormalized progress variable source term ${\dot{ω}}_{y}$ in Eqn. (3533). Units of 1/s.
Progress Variable Source Term Jacobian: The gradient of the source term, which is the Jacobian of the FGM kinetic source term ${\dot{ω}}_{y}$ in Eqn. (3533). That is the derivative of progress variable source term with respect to the unnormalized progress variable, $y$ .
[SPECIES]
Sensible Enthalpy: The sensible enthalpy $h_{s e n s}$ in Eqn. (3521).
Specific Heat: $C_{p}$
Temperature
Thermal Conductivity

Properties

The flamelet table XY plots share some of the properties of the regular XY plots, with the addition of the properties that are described below. See Plot Properties Lookup.

Variable Name: Displays the read-only name of the variable that was chosen to plot.
X-Axis Variable: Allows you to select from the grid resolution variables that are available which is used for the X-axis. For example, Heat Loss Ratio, Mixture Fraction, Mixture Fraction Variance, etc.

Add New Table View for Plotting

Activates a dialog in which you can choose to specify either values or table points to plot.

In the Select Values to Plot tab, you can set specific values for the variables and the table is interpolated to these values. Since the points are interpolated, they appear equally spaced.
In the Select Table Points to Plot tab, you can set the actual grid points to plot for the variables.
