The ISAT-CK7 package contains several Fortran libraries developed by Ithaca Combustion Enterprise, LLC and by the Turbulence and Combustion Group at Cornell University. This package is made available under the BSD 3-Clause license.
The principal components of the package and their functions are:
The package also includes:
Other publications in which the performance of ISAT-CK /RCCE/x2f_mpi have been examined include [9].
The ISAT-CK7 source code can be downloaded from here: http://tcg.mae.cornell.edu/ISATCK7/files/ISAT-CK7.zip
The zip archive consists of two folders:
Follow the instructions given in the README.txt files included in the ISAT and x2f_mpi folders to build and install the code. Example test cases are also provided to help demonstrate the use of ISAT-CK7 and x2f_mpi.
Information on how to link to external libraries like CHEMKIN II is provided in the README_dependencies.txt file included in the ISAT folder.
A copy of the original ISAT-CK 3.0 user guide is available here: http://tcg.mae.cornell.edu/ISATCK7/files/ISAT.pdf
This user guide describes the basic usage of ISAT-CK and ISATAB features. The current version of ISAT-CK7 adds more features to both ISAT-CK and ISATAB, however none of the interface routines (present in version 3.0) have been changed to maintain backward compatibility. The user is encouraged to refer to this manual to understand the working of ISAT-CK and ISATAB.
The new dimension reduction modes - ICE-PIC and RCCE - are not documented in the above manual. However, example test files and documentation is provided with the source code on how to use these modes.
The algorithm used in CEQ is described in the report "The computation of constrained and unconstrained equilibrium compositions of ideal gas mixtures using Gibbs function continuation" by S.B. Pope, Cornell University Report FDA 03-02 (2003). http://tcg.mae.cornell.edu/pubs/Pope_CUR_03.pdf
You may also refer to S.B. Pope (2004) "Gibbs function continuation for the stable computation of chemical equilibrium," Combustion and Flame, 139, 222-226.
The algorithms used in the ELL_LIB library are described in the report "Algorithms for ellipsoids" by S.B. Pope, Cornell University Report FDA 08-01 (2008). http://tcg.mae.cornell.edu/pubs/Pope_FDA_08.pdf
In publications using this software, please cite the relevant publications (listed below) and also this web site, i.e.,
The versions of ICE-PIC and x2f_mpi included in the package supersede (and are significantly different to) previous versions. The versions of CEQ and ELL_LIB are essentially the same as previous versions, but contain minor bug fixes.
