Cantera C++ Reference

‍Note: This is the Cantera Developer API documentation; for general information on Cantera, refer to cantera.org.

Use sidebar or menu at the top to view detailed documentation of the code, or use the following shortcuts:

• Overview of Cantera C++ Modules
• Index of Cantera C++ Classes

A topical overview is provided as follows:

• Objects Representing Phases (interface to Cantera core objects)
• Thermodynamic Properties (temperature, pressure, energy, ...)
• Chemical Kinetics (reactions, rates of progress, reaction path analysis, ...)
• Transport Properties (diffusion, viscosity, thermal conductivity, ...)
• Zero-Dimensional Reactor Networks (reactors, walls, flow devices, ...)
• One-Dimensional Reacting Flows (flames, flow domains, boundaries, ...)
• Physical Constants (universal constants, built into Cantera for convenience)

For fundamental scientific theory used for the implementation of Cantera, refer to the Cantera Science Section of the Cantera Website.

The Cantera source code is hosted on GitHub.
