Cantera 3.0.0
The Cantera development team is pleased to announce the availability of Cantera 3.0.0. There have been over 1400 commits to Cantera since the last version, 2.6.0, which was released in May 2022. We have closed or merged 192 pull requests and closed 111 issues. Instructions for installing Cantera 3.0 are available on the Cantera website.
Highlights
- Major performance enhancements for reactor network calculations with large kinetic mechanisms. This comes from a new formulation for the reactor governing equations using species moles (rather than mass fractions) used together with a sparse, iterative solver in the ODE integrator that makes use of a semi-analytical Jacobian. (
preconditioned_integration.py
, #1010, #1344, #1363, #1377, #1411) - Introduce
ExtensibleRate
Python class that can be used to implement new reaction rate parameterizations in Python, with parameters defined in YAML input files. These rate types can be used even when the main user application is not written in Python. (classExtensibleRate
,custom_reactions.py
, #1382, #1417, #1456, #1478, #1494, #1499) - Introduce a C++
SolutionArray
class, which is now used as the backend for the PythonSolutionArray
class (E#137, #1385, #1426, #1458, #1462, #1464, #1508, #1520, #1547, #1585) - Add "native" support for HDF5 as an input/output format for
SolutionArray
and 1D flames (E#166,flame_initial_guess.py
) - Add a new thermo model,
coverage-dependent-surface
for representing surfaces where the enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity of each species may depend on its coverage and the coverage of other species in the phase. (classCoverageDependentSurfPhase
, E#59, #1135, #1471, #1529, #1583) - Add support for surface chemistry to the plug flow reactor model (classs
FlowReactor
,1D_pfr_surfchem.py
,surf_pfr.py
, #1490) - Add support for using real gas models (Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson) with the 1D flame solver (E#109, #1079)
- Introduction of the
yaml2ck
script, which converts Cantera's YAML mechanism format into the legacy Chemkin format. (yaml2ck.py
, E#52, #1286, #1365, #1420) - Add an experimental Python module where Cantera returns dimensional values as quantities using the
pint
package. This is currently available only for thermo methods (modulecantera.with_units
,isentropic_units.py
,rankine_units.py
,sound_speed_units.py
, E#3, #991, #1569) - Preview release of a new Matlab toolbox, with a rewritten API that makes use of modern Matlab features and replaces the difficult-to-maintain MEX-file based backend with one based on using
calllib
to interact directly with the Cantera C interface. (For the adventurous, seeREADME.md
, E#32, #1182, #1496, #1498) - Preview release of a new C# interface. See
README.md
for more on what's implemented and how to contribute (#1331, #1401)
Additional new features

(C++) andinterface_current
methods toKinetics
objects (#1398) - Add molecular weight attribute to
Species
objects (#1266) - Add
set_equivalence_ratio
andset_mixture_fraction
methods to PythonQuantity

in C++,domain_new
inclib
) (#1445) - Introduce factory for creating functor objects (
newFunc1
in C++;func_new_basic
,func_new_advanced
,func_new_compound
, andfunc_new_modified
inclib
; andFunc1.cxx_functor
in Python) (documentation, #1513, #1521) - Provide a more complete interface to the C++
Units
class in Python (#1285) - Add a sample program demonstrating the use of the Cantera C interface,
clib
(#1454) - Add an example of modelling a porous media burner using the
ExtensibleReactor
class (PorousMediaBurner.py
, #1443) - Add an example demonstrating saving and loading of 1D flame simulations and restarting with different initial guesses (
flame_initial_guess.py
, #1293) - The test suite now includes a comprehensive set of thermodynamic consistency tests for all phase models (E#114, #1299, #1501)
- Consolidate literature references in the C++ documentation into a bibliography (#1550, #1575)
- Enable linking to the Cantera shared library on Windows (E#140, [#1429](https://github.com/...

Cantera 2.5.0b1
Cantera 2.5.0b1
The Cantera development team is pleased to announce the general availability of the first beta for the next release of Cantera, v2.5.0. There have been almost 900 commits to Cantera since the last version, 2.4.0, which was released in August 2018. We have closed or merged more than 200 pull requests and 100 issues. The complete list of changes can be found on the Cantera Wiki page: https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/wiki/Complete-git-log-since-2.4.0
Cantera 2.5.0 introduces a new input file format, based on the YAML data format. This format will eventually replace the CTI and XML (sometimes called CTML) formats that Cantera has used for many years. Converter scripts from CTI and XML to YAML, as well as from CHEMKIN (CK) format to YAML, are provided with this release:
ctml2yaml
cti2yaml
ck2yaml
You can use these scripts in the same way that the old ck2cti
script was used. All users are encouraged to switch their input files to the new format.
This release was made possible by the following contributors: Dave Holland, @12Chao, @BangShiuh, @CyberDrudge, @ThanasisMattas, @agarwalrounak, @arghdos, @band-a-prend, @bryanwweber, @decaluwe, @g3bk47, @ischoegl, @jsantner, @kyleniemeyer, @lavdwall, @lionkey, @manikmayur, @mgashwinkumar, @paulblum, @rwest, @sameshl, @sin-ha, @speth, @spinnau, @tsikes, @wbessler, @korffdm
Cantera 2.4.0
Cantera 2.4.0
Cantera 2.4.0 includes more than 380 commits to the code since 2.3.0, merges more than 70 pull requests, and closes almost 60 issues. In this release, we improved the maintainability of Cantera by removing or deprecating old, untested code, moving the website and Mixmaster to separate repositories, and automating more of the build/testing process. We also added new features to the 1-D reactor code (among other areas), including adding an ionized gas transport class and the IonFlow
and BurnerIonFlame
classes, providing better accessing to callbacks during 1-D solutions, and automatically detecting certain common failure conditions of the 1-D solver. This release of Cantera was made possible by contributions from 14 developers: @speth, @bryanwweber, @BangShiuh, @decaluwe, @wandadars, @jsantner, @arghdos, @rwest, @g3bk47, @awehrfritz, @band-a-prend, @vdevgan, @KyleLinevitchJr, and @MarcDuQuesne.
For installation and compilation instructions for Cantera 2.4.0, please see the directions on the Cantera website. In addition to Conda packages, Windows installers, and Ubuntu packages, this release also features the addition of a pre-compiled Matlab toolbox for macOS users, replacing Homebrew as the prefered method of installing Cantera for Matlab on macOS.
Thanks to a small development grant from NumFOCUS (see more about NumFOCUS below), @bryanwweber and @decaluwe reorganized and restyled the Cantera website. The website has moved to a separate repository, allowing the website content to be updated without modifications to the main Cantera source code. We also tried to make it easy for all of our users to find what they're looking for quickly, from installation instructions and tutorials for beginners, to advanced examples and API documentation for experienced Cantera programmers. The new website also redirects all traffic to HTTPS, ensuring a secure experience for everyone.
Cantera is now officially part of NumFOCUS. NumFOCUS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting the open source scientific computing community. If you are interested in learning more about NumFOCUS, please visit their website at https://numfocus.org, or our website at https://cantera.org/community.html#donations.
Cantera 2.4.0 is the last release that will be compatible with Python 2.7. Support for Python 2.7 from the Python Software Foundation will end January 1, 2020. Given the recent release cadence of Cantera, the next major version of Cantera will probably be released very close to that date, so we have made the decision to drop Python 2.7 support for Cantera 2.5.0 and higher.
One notable change to the build requirements for Cantera 2.4.0 is that SCons 3.0.0 or higher must be used to compile the source code. This means that either Python 2 or Python 3 can be used to run SCons. In addition, there are now three options to handle building the Python interface, depending on whether the user wants to build for Python 2 or Python 3. Please check the documentation or run scons help
for more information.
