ck2cti \- convert a Chemkin-II-format reaction mechanism file to Cantera input format.

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.br
|
|
ck2cti \fB-i \fIinput \fR[\fB-t \fIthermo\fR] \fR[\fB-tr\fI transport\fR]

\fR[\fB-id\fI idtag\fR]

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.I ck2cti
|
|
converts a Chemkin-II-format reaction mechanism file to Cantera input
|
|
format. The resulting Cantera input file contains a definition of one
|
|
.B ideal_gas
|
|
entry that represents an ideal gas mixture corresponding to the
|
|
Chemkin-II reaction mechanism. The file also contains Cantera-format
|
|
definitions for each species and each reaction in the input reaction
|
|
mechanism file. The Cantera-format text is written to the standard
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
The parameters are as follows:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I input
|
|
Chemkin-II reaction mechanism file to be converted. Required.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I thermo
|
|
Thermodynamic property database. If the THERMO section of the input
|
|
file is missing or does not have entries for one or more species, this
|
|
file will be searched for the required thermo data. This file may be
|
|
another reaction mechanism file containing a THERMO section, or a
|
|
Chemkin-II-compatible thermodynamic database file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I transport
|
|
Transport property database. If this file name is supplied, transport
|
|
property parameters will be taken from this file and included in the
|
|
output Cantera-format file. If this parameter is omitted, no transport
|
|
property parameters will be included in the output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I id
|
|
Identification string. The \fBideal_gas\fR entry in the Cantera-format
|
|
output has name \fIid\fR. If this parameter is omitted, it will be set
|
|
to the input file name without the extension. Since only one phase
|
|
definition is present in the \fIck2cti\fR output, this parameter is
|
|
not required.
|
|
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Create a Cantera input file from a self-contained Chemkin-format file
|
|
without transport parameters:
|
|
.TP
|
|
ck2cti -i mech.inp > mech.cti
|
|
.TP
|
|
Create a Cantera input file from a Chemkin-format file that requires a
|
|
separate thermodynamic database
|
|
without transport parameters:
|
|
.TP
|
|
ck2cti -i mech.inp -t therm.dat > mech.cti
|
|
.TP
|
|
Create a Cantera input file from a Chemkin-format file that requires a
|
|
separate thermodynamic database and include transport parameters:
|
|
.TP
|
|
ck2cti -i mech.inp -t therm.dat -tr tran.dat > mech.cti
