Abstract
OpenFOAM custom solver for Flame Spray Pyrolysis simulation
Highlights
Nanoparticles of metallic oxides attract attention due to their special characteristics such as high ratio between surface area and volume, chemical stability, catalytic properties, and the mechanical and thermal resistance
Ethanol flames were simulated and the obtained numerical results were compared for both OpenFOAM and ANSYS Fluent 14.5, commercial code which has proven to accurately describe the experimental Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) results in previous works [10; 7]

Summary
Nanoparticles of metallic oxides attract attention due to their special characteristics such as high ratio between surface area and volume, chemical stability, catalytic properties, and the mechanical and thermal resistance. An OpenFOAM 8 custom solver was developed aiming at the FSP process simulation. Ethanol flames were simulated and the obtained numerical results were compared for both OpenFOAM and ANSYS Fluent 14.5, commercial code which has proven to accurately describe the experimental FSP results in previous works [10; 7].
