High-level Suggestion
To improve numerical stability at the liquid-gas interface, replace the sharp gas_phase_threshold with a smooth blending function. This will create a gradual transition between the multiphase and chemistry models. [High-level, importance: 9]
Solution Walkthrough:
Before:
subroutine s_compute_chemistry_reaction_flux(...)
...
do x = bounds(1)%beg, bounds(1)%end
if (chem_params%multiphase) then
alpha_gas = 1.0_wp - q_prim_qp(advxb + chem_params%liquid_phase_idx - 1)%sf(x, y, z)
! Sharp cutoff for chemistry
if (alpha_gas < chem_params%gas_phase_threshold) then
cycle ! Skip chemistry for this cell
end if
end if
! Compute reaction rates (omega_m)
...
rhs_vf(eqn)%sf(x, y, z) = rhs_vf(eqn)%sf(x, y, z) + omega_m
end do
...
end subroutine
After:
subroutine s_compute_chemistry_reaction_flux(...)
...
do x = bounds(1)%beg, bounds(1)%end
blending_factor = 1.0_wp
if (chem_params%multiphase) then
alpha_gas = 1.0_wp - q_prim_qp(advxb + chem_params%liquid_phase_idx - 1)%sf(x, y, z)
! Smooth blending function (e.g., smoothstep)
! It transitions from 0 to 1 around the threshold.
x_norm = (alpha_gas - threshold_min) / (threshold_max - threshold_min)
x_norm = max(0.0_wp, min(1.0_wp, x_norm))
blending_factor = x_norm*x_norm * (3.0_wp - 2.0_wp * x_norm)
end if
! Compute reaction rates (omega_m)
...
! Scale the reaction source term by the blending factor
rhs_vf(eqn)%sf(x, y, z) = rhs_vf(eqn)%sf(x, y, z) + blending_factor * omega_m
end do
...
end subroutine

| qK_prim_vf(i)%sf(j, k, l) = rho_K |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Suggestion: Logic bug: the new loop overwrites all primitive continuity variables with the total density (rho_K) which corrupts primitive state (per-species partial densities / continuity variables). This will make downstream code use incorrect primitive continuity values and break conversions (mass fractions, fluxes, etc.). Restore copying from the conservative state (or the previous correct mapping) instead of writing the total density to every continuity primitive. [logic error]
Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Conservative-to-primitive conversion corrupted for chem cells.
- ❌ Flux/species advection calculations use wrong densities.
- ⚠️ Energy and mass diagnostics may be inaccurate.| qK_prim_vf(i)%sf(j, k, l) = rho_K | |
| qK_prim_vf(i)%sf(j, k, l) = qK_cons_vf(i)%sf(j, k, l) |
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Open src/common/m_variables_conversion.fpp and locate subroutine
s_convert_conservative_to_primitive_variables. The added block appears in the chemistry
branch where rho_K is computed (see lines around 719-730 in the PR hunk).
2. Run a simulation with chemistry enabled such that chem_params%multiphase is true and
you have a liquid-dominated cell where species conservative masses sum to zero (so rho_K
computed by the loop at line ~719 is near zero). This situation occurs inside
s_convert_conservative_to_primitive_variables when chemistry is true (the code path that
computes rho_K from qK_cons_vf at lines ~719-724).
3. In that case the code at lines 722-726 forces rho_K to 1.0e-12_wp, then the loop at
lines 728-730 writes rho_K into every primitive continuity slot qK_prim_vf(i)%sf(j,k,l).
This overwrites per-species primitive continuity values with the total density instead of
preserving per-species continuity.
4. Downstream routines that immediately read qK_prim_vf continuity fields (for example
s_convert_primitive_to_flux_variables in the same file which reads qK_prim_vf into
alpha_rho_K at lines ~1263-1276) will therefore receive incorrect
continuity/partial-density values. The observed effect is corrupted primitive state and
incorrect species/flux calculations. The code pattern (writing rho_K into all contxe
slots) appears unintended compared to the surrounding conversions (which normally copy
from qK_cons_vf or compute per-species values).Prompt for AI Agent 🤖

| parser.add_argument("--mfc", type=json.loads, default="{}", metavar="DICT", |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Suggestion: The argparse --mfc argument sets default="{}" (a string) while type=json.loads parses CLI values to a dict; argparse does not apply type to the default value, so when the option is omitted args.mfc will be the string "{}" and later args.mfc.get(...) will raise an AttributeError. Change the default to an actual dict (e.g. {}) so args.mfc is a mapping when not provided. [type error]

- ⚠️ CI checks running examples may fail.| parser.add_argument("--mfc", type=json.loads, default="{}", metavar="DICT", | |
| parser.add_argument("--mfc", type=json.loads, default={}, metavar="DICT", |
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Run the example script without supplying --mfc: `python3
examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_hydrocarbon.py`. The parser option is declared at
`examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_hydrocarbon.py:36-37` and the default value for `--mfc`
is the string `"{}"`.
2. Argument parsing happens next at `examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_hydrocarbon.py:45`
where `args = parser.parse_args()` is executed; because argparse applies `type=json.loads`
only to provided CLI values, the default remains the string `"{}"`.
3. The code later constructs the `case` dictionary and uses `args.mfc.get("mpi", True)` at
`examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_hydrocarbon.py:199-200` (the `"parallel_io"` entry). At
that moment `args.mfc` is the string `"{}"`, so `args.mfc.get(...)` raises AttributeError:
"'str' object has no attribute 'get'".
4. Reproduced outcome: running the script with no `--mfc` raises AttributeError during
module execution and the example fails to produce the case dictionary. This is a real
runtime crash on the normal example execution path.Prompt for AI Agent 🤖

[possible bug]
Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Example script crashes at startup when --mfc omitted.

Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Run the example script without the --mfc flag:
- Command: python examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_liquid_droplet.py
- parse_args() invoked at examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_liquid_droplet.py:43.
2. Because add_argument used default="{}" (a string) at line 38, args.mfc becomes the
literal string "{}" (defaults are not converted by the type function).
3. The code later evaluates args.mfc.get(...) when building the case dict at:
- examples/2D_burning_droplet/case_liquid_droplet.py:209 ("parallel_io": "T" if
args.mfc.get("mpi", True) else "F").

*Possible Bug: The argparse `--mfc` argument sets `default="{}"` (a string) while the code later expects `args.mfc` to be a dict and calls `.get(...)`, which will raise AttributeError if the flag is not provided; set the default to an actual dict so `args.mfc.get(...)` works when `--mfc` is omitted.

| "fluid_pp(1)%gamma": 1.0 / (gamma - 1), |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Suggestion: Incorrect thermodynamic value: fluid_pp(1)%gamma is set to 1.0 / (gamma - 1) which computes cp/(R) or similar, not the ratio of specific heats; if gamma is the ratio cp/cv (e.g. 1.4) the solver likely expects that value directly. Assign the gamma variable instead of computing 1.0/(gamma-1). [logic error]
Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Example inputs incorrect thermodynamic ratio.
- ⚠️ Simulation results from example may be physically invalid.| "fluid_pp(1)%gamma": 1.0 / (gamma - 1), | |
| "fluid_pp(1)%gamma": gamma, |
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Inspect the constant definition of `gamma` in the file:
- File: examples/2D_burning_droplet/test_chemistry_only.py, line 46: `gamma = 1.4`.
2. Run the example script to print the case JSON:
- Command: python3 examples/2D_burning_droplet/test_chemistry_only.py
- The script prints the `case` dictionary at `if __name__ == "__main__":` (line 203).
3. In the printed JSON, locate the key `"fluid_pp(1)%gamma"` (set at line 162).
- The produced value is 1.0 / (1.4 - 1) = 2.5 due to the current expression on line
162.
4. Observe that this value (2.5) does not match the local `gamma` variable (1.4 at line
46) and so the example emits an inconsistent thermodynamic parameter.
Note: Reproduction requires only running this example and inspecting its output; no
additional modules are needed to confirm the incorrect value.Prompt for AI Agent 🤖

| parser.add_argument("--no-chemistry", action="store_true", default=True, |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Suggestion: The argparse flag --no-chemistry is declared with action="store_true" but also sets default=True, which means args.no_chemistry will always be True (whether the flag is passed or not) and the chemistry configuration block will never run; remove or set the default to False so the flag behaves as intended. [logic error]
Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Chemistry block skipped in example case output.
- ⚠️ Multiphase chemistry parameters never get set.
- ⚠️ Example fails to validate phase-change chemistry logic.| parser.add_argument("--no-chemistry", action="store_true", default=True, | |
| parser.add_argument("--no-chemistry", action="store_true", default=False, |
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Run the example script: python3 examples/2D_burning_droplet/test_phase_change_only.py
(argument parsing occurs at lines 22-36; parser defined at lines 22-26 and args parsed at
line 36).
2. Inspect parsed value: due to the definition on lines 28-29
(parser.add_argument("--no-chemistry", action="store_true", default=True,...)),
args.no_chemistry is True even when no flag is provided.
3. Execution reaches the chemistry configuration guard at line 267: "if not
args.no_chemistry:" (lines 267-274 contain the chemistry block). Because args.no_chemistry
is always True, the condition is False and the entire chemistry block is skipped.
4. Observe output: printed JSON from lines 298-299 (print(json.dumps(case))) does not
contain any chemistry-related keys (e.g., "chemistry", "cantera_file"), verifying
chemistry was never enabled in the produced case dictionary.Prompt for AI Agent 🤖
