Science Reference#

These sections document the scientific theories, mathematical models, and numerical methods implemented by Cantera. This starts with some of the fundamental scientific theory underpinning the ways that Cantera models phases of matter, which involves calculations for thermodynamic and transport properties and chemical reaction rates. Cantera then builds on top of these models to provide means of representing and solving a number of zero- and one-dimensional systems.
