Cantera Outline

Overview of Cantera

• Capabilities
  • High level division of Cantera's capabilities
  • Zero-D, One-D, phase objects, numerics

• Division of capabilities should roughly follow how Cantera source code is divided
  • Apps - utilities for converting between Chemkin and Cantera file formats, parsing input files, comparing output files, etc.
  • Base - more utilities for array storage, printing and logging, XML file parsing, Cantera errors/exceptions,
  • Clib - code for C API
  • Converters
  • Equil
  • Fortran - code for Fortran API
  • Kinetics - classes for getting/setting/calculating reaction network quantities (net production rate source terms, reaction rate parameters, etc.)
  • Matlab - code for Matlab API
  • Numerics - classes for solving ordinary differential equations, evaluating Jacobians, Newton methods, constructing and solving matrices, etc.
  • OneD - classes relating to one-dimensional simulations (domains, stacks, one-dimensional flame simulations, etc.)
  • Python - code for Python API
  • Spectra
  • Thermo
  • TPX
  • Transport
  • ZeroD - classes relating to zero-dimensional Reactors (Reactor, Wall, etc.)
