OpenSMOKE++

OpenSMOKE++ is a general framework developed by the CRECK Modeling Lab for numerical simulations of reacting systems with detailed kinetic mechanisms, including thousands of chemical species and reactions.

1. User-friendly: OpenSMOKE++ framework can handle simulations of ideal reactors, shock-tubes, rapid compression machines, laminar 1D flames and multidimensional reacting flows
2. Fast: OpenSMOKE++ adopts advanced numerical techniques able to reduce the computational cost, without sacrificing the accuracy and the robustness of the calculations
3. Free: OpenSMOKE++ is completely free for Academic use! We only ask you to register on our website and cite OpenSMOKE++ in your publications

OpenSMOKE++ can handle simulations of ideal reactors, shock-tubes, rapid compression machines, 1D laminar flames and multidimensional reacting systems, and it provides useful numerical tools such as the sensitivity and rate of production analyses.

OpenSMOKE++ is distributed in three main packages.

1. OpenSMOKE++ Suite: Simulation of ideal reactors (batch, plug-flow, perfectly stirred reactors), shock-tubes, rapid compression machines, laminar 1D flames (freely propagating and burner stabilized flames, counter-flow diffusion flames)
2. OpenSMOKE++4OpenFOAM: Solvers for steady-state and unsteady reacting flows in arbitrarly complex multidimensional geometries with detailed kinetic mechanisms (based on OpenFOAM)
3. DoctorSMOKE++: Automatic reduction of detailed kinetic mechansims to a skeletal level, to allow their use in large scale CFD simulations. DoctorSMOKE++ is currently under testing. We plan to release it in a few months.
