The CounterFlowDiffusionFlame (CFDF) code is able to perform more general cases
of npflame_init for multiple species fuel and oxidizer streams. The
stoichiometric mixture fraction in the CFDF code uses the Bilger definition of
mixture fraction, using the conservation of elements C, H, and O. This method is
used in the python module, but not the MATLAB npflame_init function.
Also, the CFDF code uses the fuel stream density to calculate the fuel stream
velocity and the oxidizer stream density to calculate the oxidizer stream
velocity, where as the npflame_init code uses the fuel density for both velocity
calculations.
The elementMassFraction code is a MATLAB version of the python function:
elemental_mass_fraction, which is needed to run the CFDF code.
Update the diffflame.m example to use the more general CFDF function since the
input parameters are different than the npflame_init function. This example is
the same as the diffusion_flame.py sample in the Python module.
This function was actually being directed into 'thermoget' and calling the
'newFromXML' method (on a non-existent XML tree) instead of calling the 'del'
method.
At some point (after version 2014b), Matlab started passing an additional
argument to 'display', which broke the logic for setting the default
threshold. This caused all composition data to be excluded from the report shown
by typing the name of the phase object.
The threshold for printing species is a new, optional parameter to the
'report' function. If any species are excluded, the total number of
minor species and their aggregate mass and mole fraction are printed.
These changes make it unnecessary to copy header files around during
the build process, which tends to confuse IDEs and debuggers. The
headers which comprise Cantera's external C++ interface are now in
the 'include' directory.
All of the samples and demos are now in the 'samples' subdirectory.
