Increasing the density of grid points is more likely to lead to a non-extinct
solution, but takes longer to solve. To give good average-case performance,
first try solving on a grid with few points, then increase the number of points
until a reacting solution is found, if possible.
If any of the reaction orders differ from the corresponding stoichiometric
coefficients, the reaction needs to be handled as the general case, instead of
just when the orders are non-integral.
Implements the radiation model of Liu & Rogg (1991). Optically thin limit,
gray-gas approximation using Planck mean absorption coefficients. Considers
emissions from CO2 and H2O, with the temperature-dependent absorption
coefficients calculated using polynomial fits to results from RADCAL
(Grosshandler, 1993).
In Python 3, attempting to convert some mechanisms would give errors like the
following:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x96 in position 348:
invalid start byte
Allow non-reactant orders for electrochemical reactions
Allow negative orders specifically requested, e.g. by setting the
'negative_orders' option in the CTI definition of the reaction.
This mechanism, which is supposed to be the H2 mechanism extracted from GRI-3.0,
was actually missing the reaction H+O2+M <-> HO2+M. This updates the original
input file, regenerates h2o2.cti, and updates the blessed output file for one
test (which changed because the newer version of ck2cti actually retains the
given precision of the transport properties).
These tests are based on the 'plasma_equilibrium.py' example, and include
a fairly large number of phases, some of which are only present for certain
temperature ranges.
installShomateThermoFromXML now checks that
7 coefficients are supplied in the floatArray and
throws if that is not the case.
Also update MaskeLLSolidSolnPhase_Test xml files
to correctly contain 7 coefficients to not trigger
the newly added throw.
Based on Maskell, Shaw, and Tye, Electrochimica Acta 28(2) 225-230 1983.
Includes unit tests checking calculation of the chemical potential values
and parsing of the mixing enthalpy parameter from an XML file.
This addesses a parsing error that would occur if a mechanism contained both
'foo' and 'foo+', where reactions written as 'foo+bar' would be parsed as a
reaction with 'foo+' and 'bar'.
