Dear Professor Goodwin, I'm writing my MSc report on the calculations I did under Cantera and I'd like to know which method of determining equilibrium Cantera...
Solene, Cantera uses 2 different algorithms to compute equilibrium. The one implemented by class ChemEquil.cpp (and the one used by default if you use the...
Jeff Miler, The matplotlib commands in the current version of Cantera are for the syntax of a previous version of matplotlib (pre 0.65). If you are using any...

Jeff, I have not simulated many flames with the freely propagating flame code, but have used the stagnation code a lot. Time integration problems arose for me...

Hi, I need to know how to initiate a reaction in Cantera for a Batch Reactor. If I set ambient temperature as the initial temperature, the reaction does not...

Hi, I'm trying to model soot formation for an engine cycle with exhaust gas recirculation. I've modelled the system in a reactor net such that air and exhaust...

Bhupinder, From your .m file it looks like the initial system is filled with N2. Have you tried to start the simulation with the combustor and flow split...

I've been poking around with the new Mixture objects in Cantera 1.6.0, and I'm somewhat confused as to how to do anything with them. I mean, I can create one,...
Brooks - At present, you can't do much more with them than what you describe. This class was initially developed to do multiphase equilibrium, and has the...

Hi Dave, I'm following up on the memory problems with the multi-phase equilibrium solver. For reference, we are using Cantera in Matlab to do straight-up...
A.J., In fact there was a memory leak, and now I have fixed it. I'll update the CVS repository and post a new Windows installer in a day or two. Dave...
Dave, In message 804, you were talking about how to use a previous solution as the initial guess for the next run. For solutions saved as xml files, you said...
I have updated the files in the CVS repository to fix the memory leak in the multiphase equilibrium solver, and to implement several other relatively minor...
I am using Cantera / Python to do some 0-D kinetics calculations and would like to incorporate reaction rates into the analysis. Is there a command to retrieve...
Dear Prof.Godwin, when I use the function getEquilibriumConstants() in loops while advancing an adiabatic reactor, sometimes I get the following error: ...
I tried building cantera on OS X, and found that the blas and lapack libs are not built. In cantera-1.6.0/config/configure, there is a statement that...
I am trying to take a solution calculated by the adiabatic freely propagating flame demo in python, and use it as an initial guess to find the next solution....
James, With OS X, optimized versions of blas and lapack are contained in the 'Accelerate' framework that comes with the operating system. You are right that...
Dear Dr. Goodwin are there any references (papers, technical notes, reports) for citations refering to cantera besides the project webpage? regards, Joerg...
Hello David First of all I want sent a big congratulation for your initiative to make available this wonderful package. However, I have a problem. I have not...
Hi Prof. Goodwin I have found a small bug in ck2cti: in Cantera/src/converters/ck2ct.cpp:422 fprintf(f, "\n# [CK Reaction (%s)]\n",i+1); should be fprintf(f,...
George, We have published a paper in the last combustion symposium proceedings; where we used Cantera to simulate strained stagnation-point flames and compared...

I thought I would repost this because I am still in need of some help. I am still at the same point in trying to link the Fortran project to the C++ project....
I am planning to offer an introductory Cantera workshop at Caltech on Thursday, Sept. 22. This will be a hands-on session in which everyone should come with a ...
Hi Michael Tank you very much for your help. I did implement your suggestions and run again 'make', after 'make clean' and 'configure' commands, and no error...
Hi Wladimimyr, If I remember well, I've the same problem some times ago. Probably you have to install some python stuffs, like Numerical Python or NumPy, or...
It looks to me like you need to change some of the default settings of the Fortran project. Cantera is configured to use C-style argument passing, and the...
