Implementation of the eddy dissipation model of turbulent non-premixed combustion in OpenFOAM

This work discusses the implementation of eddy dissipation model in OpenFOAM CFD toolbox. The code was validated in modeling of confined non-premixed Methane jet flame. The model predictions were extensively compared against published experimental results as well as ANSYS Fluent® predictions. The differences between the implemented model in OpenFOAM and Fluent were demonstrated.
