Simulation of Smoke in OpenFOAM Framework

For the past several years, there has been a lot of work in modelling complex simulations pertaining to motion of gases. In the work of [Fedkiw et al., 2001], a new approach to numerically simulate smoke was developed which incorporates the model proposed by Steinhoff and Underhill [Steinhoff and Underhill, 1994] known as “vorticity confinement”. Passive advection of smoke particles is considered in the works published thus far in the field of computer graphics, to the best of our knowledge. In this work we will show the effect of particle mass which affects the extent to which the motion of smoke is influenced by the underlying flow field. We will show these results with the help of particle time constant (τp).
