Cantera/CTI Files

CTI = CanTera Input file

CTI files use a custom markup language to specify information about the kinetics.

A CTI file must specify information about three things:

• Phases - Cantera/CTI Files/Phases
• Species - Cantera/CTI Files/Species
• Reactions - Cantera/CTI Files/Reactions

Division of CTI Files

The file can be divided into multiple parts:

• Phase specification
• Species
  • Gas species
  • Surface species
• Reactions
  • Gas reactions
  • Surface reactions

Units Specification

The units are the first thing defined in the file:

units(length = "cm", time = "s", quantity = "mol", act_energy = "J/mol")
