Cantera Workshop at 14th U.S. National Combustion Meeting 2025 |
/index |
Cantera is an open-source suite of object-oriented software tools for problems involving kinetics, thermodynamics, and/or transport. Among other things, it can be used to:
- Evaluate thermodynamic and transport properties of mixtures
- Compute chemical equilibrium
- Evaluate species chemical production rates
- Conduct kinetics simulations with large reaction mechanisms
- Simulate one-dimensional flames
- Conduct reaction path analysis
- Create process simulations using networks of stirred reactors
- Model non-ideal fluids
This day-long workshop affiliated with the 14th U.S. National Combustion Meeting will bring together new and advanced users of Cantera, and introduce all to getting involved with Cantera development.
The workshop will run all day on Sunday 16 March, with a meet-up the evening before for those arriving earlier on Saturday. The Sunday morning session will be an introduction and tutorial (bring a laptop to follow along and try things out). After lunch we invite lightning talks from attendees (show off what you have tried to do with Cantera, or what you would like to do with Cantera), and will have a session on how to contribute to Cantera. The afternoon will be a presentation of what's new in Cantera, including demonstrations of the latest features and capabilities. See more detail on the Schedule page.
Everyone is welcome, and we especially encourage new users to attend!
Registration is made through the Combustion Institute when registering for the 14th U.S. National Combustion Meeting. Places are limited to 60 participants, so please register early to avoid disappointment. Early Registration Opens October 9, 2024.
Participants will be invited to present a lightning talk; though this is not required, we encourage everyone to present on the work they are doing that either already uses Cantera or might benefit from using Cantera. This will be a great way to network with other users and generate ideas.
The workshop will be held in downtown Boston, just a 1 mile walk from the Conference Hotel, at Northeastern University.
All participants in the workshop are expected to ready and comply with our Code of Conduct, both during the workshop and in any communications associated with it before, during, or after the event itself.
