Contained in this folder is StanShock v0.1. StanShock is a quasi-1D gas dynamics solver designed model shock tube experiments.
The provided version stanShock has the following capabilities:
Variable cross-sectional area
Boundary layer modeling
Multicomponent gas interfaces
Reaction Chemistry
Species and thermal diffusion
Geometric Optimization
StanShock is writen in object-oriented python, which allows the client to flexibly script and run stanShock cases. StanShock leverages several python modules listed below (tested version number given):
python 3.7.1
numpy 1.15.4 (common python package for scientific computations)
numba 0.41.0 (just-in-time compilation for significant speed-up)
cantera 2.4.0 (encapsulates the thermodynamics and kinetics)
matplotlib 3.0.2 (plotting module)
sciPy 1.1.0 (module with additional common numerical algorithms)
It is recommended to install an anaconda distribution (https://www.continuum.io/downloads), which will contain all dependencies except cantera. Cantera (http://www.cantera.org/docs/sphinx/html/index.html) will require a separate installation.
Included are six examples:
laminarFlame (laminar flame test case of stoichiometric H2/Air)
optimization (driver insert optimization)
validationCases (four validation test cases)
case1 (baseline)
case2 (step change in driver/driven area)
case3 (driver insert case)
case4 (disparate driver/driven mixtures)
Files include:
stanShock.py (entirety of the StanShock solver code)
*.{xml,cti} (cantera files containing the thermodiffusive properties)
{laminarFlame,optimization,case{1..4}}.py (python driver scripts)
case{1..4}.csv (experimental shock tube data for the validation cases)
*.pyc (compiled python code)
