Cantera C++ Reference

Use the sidebar to view detailed documentation of the C++ code, or use the following shortcuts:

• Overview of Cantera C++ Topics
• Index of Cantera C++ Classes

A high-level overview is provided as follows:

• Objects Representing Phases (interface to Cantera core objects)
• Thermodynamic Properties (temperature, pressure, energy, ...)
• Chemical Kinetics (reactions, rates of progress, reaction path analysis, ...)
• Transport Properties (diffusion, viscosity, thermal conductivity, ...)
• Zero-Dimensional Reactor Networks (reactors, walls, flow devices, ...)
• One-Dimensional Reacting Flows (flames, flow domains, boundaries, ...)
• Physical Constants (universal constants, built into Cantera for convenience)

Generated C Interface (CLib):

• Overview of Generated C Interface
• Index of Generated C Libraries

Details on the fundamental scientific theories used in the implementation of Cantera are located in the Science Reference Section.

The Cantera source code is hosted on GitHub.
