Function Documentation

newInterface() [1/3]

shared_ptr< Interface > newInterface	(	const string &	infile,
		const string &	name = "",
		const vector< string > &	adjacent = {}
	)

Create and initialize a new Interface from an input file.

This constructor wraps newThermo() and newKinetics()

Parameters

infile	name of the input file
name	name of the surface phase in the file. If this is blank, the first phase in the file is used.
adjacent	vector containing names of adjacent phases that participate in this phases kinetics. If empty, adjacent phases will be instantiated based on the phase definition.

Returns

an initialized Interface object.

Definition at line 35 of file Interface.cpp.

newInterface() [2/3]

shared_ptr< Interface > newInterface	(	const string &	infile,
		const string &	name,
		const vector< shared_ptr< Solution > > &	adjacent
	)

Create and initialize a new Interface from an input file.

This constructor wraps newThermo() and newKinetics()

Parameters

infile	name of the input file
name	name of the phase in the file. If this is the empty string, the first phase in the file is used.
adjacent	vector containing adjacent Solution objects. If empty, adjacent phases will be instantiated based on the phase definition.

Returns

an initialized Interface object.

Definition at line 49 of file Interface.cpp.

newInterface() [3/3]

shared_ptr< Interface > newInterface	(	AnyMap &	phaseNode,
		const AnyMap &	rootNode = AnyMap(),
		const vector< shared_ptr< Solution > > &	adjacent = {}
	)

Create and initialize a new Interface from AnyMap objects.

This constructor wraps newThermo() and newKinetics()

Parameters

phaseNode	the node containing the phase definition (that is, thermo model, list of species, and initial state)
rootNode	the root node of the tree containing the phase definition, which will be used as the default location from which to read species definitions.
adjacent	vector containing adjacent Solution objects. If empty, adjacent phases will be instantiated based on the phase definition.

Returns

an initialized Interface object.

Definition at line 57 of file Interface.cpp.

newSolution() [1/3]

shared_ptr< Solution > newSolution	(	const string &	infile,
		const string &	name,
		const string &	transport,
		const vector< string > &	adjacent
	)

Create and initialize a new Solution from an input file.

This constructor wraps newThermo(), newKinetics() and newTransport() routines for initialization.

Parameters

infile	name of the input file
name	name of the phase in the file. If this is blank, the first phase in the file is used.
transport	name of the transport model. If blank, the transport model specified in the phase definition is used.
adjacent	vector containing names of adjacent phases that participate in this phases kinetics. If empty, adjacent phases will be instantiated based on the phase definition.

Returns

an initialized Solution object.

Definition at line 207 of file Solution.cpp.

newSolution() [2/3]

shared_ptr< Solution > newSolution	(	const string &	infile,
		const string &	name = "",
		const string &	transport = "",
		const vector< shared_ptr< Solution > > &	adjacent = {}
	)

Create and initialize a new Solution manager from an input file.

This constructor wraps newThermo(), newKinetics() and newTransport() routines for initialization.

Parameters

infile	name of the input file
name	name of the phase in the file. If this is blank, the first phase in the file is used.
transport	name of the transport model.
adjacent	vector containing adjacent Solution objects. If empty, adjacent phases will be instantiated based on the phase definition.

Returns

an initialized Solution object.

newSolution() [3/3]

shared_ptr< Solution > newSolution	(	const AnyMap &	phaseNode,
		const AnyMap &	rootNode = AnyMap(),
		const string &	transport = "",
		const vector< shared_ptr< Solution > > &	adjacent = {},
		const map< string, shared_ptr< Solution > > &	related = {}
	)

Create and initialize a new Solution manager from AnyMap objects.

This constructor wraps newThermo(), newKinetics() and newTransport() routines for initialization.

Parameters

phaseNode	the node containing the phase definition (that is, thermo model, list of species, and initial state)
rootNode	the root node of the tree containing the phase definition, which will be used as the default location from which to read species definitions.
transport	name of the transport model.
adjacent	vector containing adjacent Solution objects. If empty, adjacent phases will be instantiated based on the phase definition.
related	vector of phases related to the same root Solution object. Used internally by newSolution() when creating complex interfaces where a phase may be adjacent to multiple other phases but should be instantiated only once.

Returns

an initialized Solution object.
