A user-defined mass flow rate function can modify the ThermoPhase object used by
a reactor, for example if it depends on calculating some property of a different
reactor. To make sure that the reactor governing equations are evaluated
correctly, the ThermoPhase state needs to be set after all user-defined
functions have been called.
This separates the handling of interactions between reactors (mediated by
Wall objects) and surfaces on which surface reactions occur (handled by
ReactorSurface). This simplifies the implementation within reactor, and
reduces the complexity of user code involving surface reactions by
eliminating the need to set up a Reservoir object for the opposite side
of a Wall object that is only being used for surface reactions.
Adds ReactorNet::reinitialize, which skips all one-time initialization and
re-uses the same CVODES integrator. The Reactor::syncState() method is
introduced for applying new initial conditions for individual Reactor objects.
This approach increases efficiency when solving many similar problems with short
integration times, for example when being used as the chemistry term integrator
in an operator-split CFD code.
The order now matches the order in which the corresponding sensitivity reactions
are added to the ReactorNet, regardless of the order in which Reactors and Walls
are added to the network.
Sensitivity parameter names can be accessed using the "sensitivityParameterName"
method of ReactorNet, and the "sensParamID" methods of Reactor and Wall have
been removed as they no longer meaningful.
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.
