Detailed Description

Factory for kinetics managers.

Definition at line 29 of file KineticsFactory.h.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void deleteFactory ( )
inlinevirtual

Virtual abstract function that deletes the factory.

This must be properly defined in child objects.

Implements FactoryBase.

Definition at line 40 of file KineticsFactory.h.

Kinetics * newKinetics ( XML_Node phase,
std::vector< ThermoPhase * >  th 
)
virtual

Return a new kinetics manager that implements a reaction mechanism specified in a CTML file.

In other words, the kinetics manager, given the rate constants and formulation of the reactions that make up a kinetics mechanism, is responsible for calculating the rates of progress of the reactions and for calculating the source terms for species.

Parameters
phaseAn XML_Node that contains the XML data describing the phase. Of particular note to this routine is the child XML element called "kinetics". The element has one attribute called "model", with a string value. The value of this string is used to decide which kinetics manager is used to calculate the reaction mechanism.
thVector of phases. The first phase is the phase in which the reactions occur, and the subsequent phases (if any) are e.g. bulk phases adjacent to a reacting surface.
Returns
Pointer to the new kinetics manager.
