Hi LIGGGHTS-PFM developers,
I am wondering how everything related to reactionheat is handled in LIGGGHTS. Based on your documentation, it seems that something might be missing regarding this source term in the implementation.
The equation indicates that the temperature update is managed by heat_gran and scalar_transport_equation, which consider heatFlux and heatSource as shown here.
However, I couldn't find any point where reactionheat, calculated in chem_shrink_core, is actually linked to the heatSource or heatFlux object.
If this is the case, it seems reactionheat is not contributing to the temperature update in Liggghts. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
Thank you for your support.
