Detailed Description

A container class for chemically-reacting solutions.

The Solution class collects all objects needed to describe a chemically-reacting solution. Instances can be created to represent any type of solution – a mixture of gases, a liquid solution, or a solid solution, for example.

Solution objects only define a small number of methods of their own, and are provided so that a single object can be used to access thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport properties of a solution:

The most common way to instantiate Solution objects is by using a phase definition, species and reactions defined in an input file:

shared_ptr<Solution> sol = newSolution("gri30.yaml", "gri30");
shared_ptr< Solution > newSolution(const string &infile, const string &name, const string &transport, const vector< shared_ptr< Solution > > &adjacent)
Create and initialize a new Solution manager from an input file.
