Those are great suggestions but not something I have time to do myself. Please consider contributing.
I offer you to prepare a database with these components containing the required parameters!


i checked the suggestion by THSchrader to edit the existing database file for water and to supply some missing parameters for water.
The new parameters are showing up in the dialog now. So far so good.

BUT !!! The actual file is only created for an ideal gas model
-> this means, that you only can simulate gases but no liquids

==>> please consider to create a thermophysicalProperties file as you do now only for gases!!
==>> for liquids you should create this file with a polynomials approach as mentioned earlier.
I have now made this change. At the moment, the only supported fluid in the database is water. If your offer still stands, it would be great if you could add more properties in the data/CfdFluidMaterialProperties folder, using WaterIncompressible.FCMat as a guide.

Thanks a lot!
