//! @defgroup solnGroup Objects Representing Phases

//! A container class for chemically-reacting solutions.
/*!
 * The Solution class collects all objects needed to describe a chemically-reacting
 * solution. Instances can be created to represent any type of solution -- a mixture
 * of gases, a liquid solution, or a solid solution, for example.
 *
 * Solution objects only define a small number of methods of their own, and are provided
 * so that a single object can be used to access thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport
 * properties of a solution:
 *  - ThermoPhase manager; accessed via thermo()
 *  - Kinetics manager; accessed via kinetics()
 *  - Transport manager; accessed via transport()
 *
 * The most common way to instantiate Solution objects is by using a phase definition,
 * species and reactions defined in an input file:
 * @code
 *    shared_ptr<Solution> sol = newSolution("gri30.yaml", "gri30");
 * @endcode
 * @ingroup solnGroup
