The following classes (and their children) will be non-copyable and
non-assignable after Cantera 2.3:
- ThermoPhase
- Kinetics
- Transport
- Species
- SpeciesThermoInterpType
- MultiSpeciesThermo
- VPSSMgr
- PDSS
- ResidJacEval
- RootFind
The new class is named MultiSpeciesThermo, so that (eventually) the name
SpeciesThermo can be used for the single-species class SpeciesThermoInterpType.
Currently, trivial wrappers for classes named SpeciesThermo and
GeneralSpeciesThermo to maintain backwards compatibiity for Cantera 2.3.
These headers should only include general functionality, i.e. base classes and
factory methods. Users working directly with derived types can include the
relevant headers directly.
Deprecate some top-level headers which are not really useful.
Using this instead of modifyHf298 to reset the thermo data to its original
state avoids round-off errors that otherwise make modifications to the
species thermo data irreversible.
This enables incremental mechanism construction for gas phase kinetics. For
surface kinetics, adding new species changes the kinetics species index of
existing species in other phases, so this feature is disabled.
All reaction-sized arrays are now allocated as reactions are added, which means
that the finalize() method is unnecessary and reactions can be continuously
added, even after the Kinetics object has been used for rate calculations.
This ensures that deprecated methods aren't being called anywhere in the test
suite, without having to manually scan the test output for warning messages.
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.
Throwing an exception when a state variable is being set to NaN transforms some
reactor network integration errors from unrecoverable errors into recoverable
errors.
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.
