Cantera scripts

Here, python scripts are provided for common use at CERFACS.

These are the scripts used in the Cantera formation :

Simple mixture	0D cases	1D cases
Gas object	Auto-ignition	Burner flame
Equilibrium object	Mix	Counter-diffusion flame
Adiabatic temperature	Simple closed vessel	Premixed flame
	Simple constant pressure reactor	Comparison between two premixed flames

These are miscallenous scripts that you can use (mostly with gri30 – yaml file here). Some are private, some are public.

Advanced use	AVBP	ARC
An optimized version of the 1D premixed flame (empirical basis)	How to write csv for avbp	How to compile an Analytically Reduced Mechanism (ARC) f90 and cti here
How to postproc variables (thickness, Schmidt, Prandtl)	How to use the Partial Equilibrium Assumption (PEA) BFER cti here – mixture database here	Apply path analysis Source file and script file
How to thicken a flame	Compare Laminar 1D Flame Thicknesses (Thermal / HRR ) for Generic Sensor	Soot python script (Experimental data, Non-sooting flame, sooting flame, post-treatment) A wider explanation is provided in the tutorial.
How to calculate PCI and PCS Mono-component version Multi-component version Taken from cantera website.	Compute reference values for flame sensors f90 and cti here
Diffusion flame Increasing pressure Increasing strain rate To be used to reach convergence for awkward points or create a flamelet table. Taken from cantera website.

If you think that a script is missing and would be important for the community, please send an email at the person in charge (see contacts page).
