Cantera 2.2.0#
Published on June 5, 2015 | Full release on GitHub
New major version. Highlights include:
Reformulated multicomponent diffusion calculation to improve 1D solver convergence.
Introduction of
Species
andReaction
classes which can be used to construct and modifyThermoPhase
/Kinetics
objects on-the-fly, without necessarily using CTI/XML input files. See the new examplesextract_submechanism.py
andmechanism_reduction.py
.Better handling of CTI and XML files: Parsed CTI and XML files are cached based on modification time and file content, and implicit conversions are done without generating
.xml
files. Phases can be imported directly from XML or CTI strings. Both CTI and XML files can import species and reactions from other CTI or XML files.Enable re-initialization of reactor networks, which improves efficiency for integration with CFD-like codes - see the example
surf_pfr.py
.Introduction of a simple radiation model for flames (optically thin, gray gas for CO2 and H2O) - see the example
diffusion_flame.py
.Efficient sensitivity analysis of 1D flame solutions (see
flamespeed_sensitivity.py
).Added strain rate calculations for diffusion flames (see
diffusion_flame_extinction.py
anddiffusion_flame_batch.py
).Added premixed counterflow flame configuration to Python module (see
premixed_counterflow_flame.py
).Allow Sundials to link to external (optimized) BLAS/LAPACK libraries.
Support for Sundials 2.6.
Updated Matlab toolbox documentation, which is included in the online HTML documentation.
