CERFACS Chemistry Sharing knowledge for CFD chemical kinetics

In this section, you can find a general presentation of Cantera as well as some tutorials :

• The first part is aimed to show Cantera infrastructure, how it works and how the user can interact with the code:
  • Presentation (older version here)
    
  • The different tutorials are gradually increasing in difficulty to provide the user knowledge about :
    • the gas object and cti files [ipynb] – CK2CTI folder here
    • equilibrium calculations [ipynb] – mech.cti here
    • 0D cases [ipynb]
    • 1D cases [ipynb] – Lu.cti here
• The second part is aimed to show the modification that have been applied to CERFACS code:
  • Presentation (older version here)
    
  • Explanation (pptx, txt) of which files are modified to get CERFACS version [private]
  • Examples here :
    • the counterflow-diffusion flamelet resolution [ipynb]
    • the flame thickening resolution [ipynb]
    • AVBP transport [ipynb]
    • the Partial Equilibrium Assumption (PEA) [ipynb]
    • how to deal with the Quasi Steady-State Approximation (QSSA) [ipynb]
    • the use of Unitary Lewis assumption [ipynb]
    • the handling of soot particles [pdf – zip] [private]

Working on NFS with jupyter notebook

1. Connect on NFS. Type module load cantera

2. Create password for session, type mkdir $HOME/.jupiter and juptyter notebook password

3. Type jupyter notebook and get the port number used, here it is 8889

[I 15:36:48.209 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at
   [I 15:36:48.209 NotebookApp] http://localhost:8889/

4. On a session on your device, create a tunnel between your device and NFS, for instance with baal :

ssh -N -f -L localhost:8888:localhost:8889 baal

5. Open your browser and type localhost:8888

To check that the port number is available, type :
netstat -an | grep 8888
