Frhodo is an open-source, GUI-based Python application to simulate experimental data and optimize chemical kinetics mechanisms using Cantera as its chemistry solver.
Features include:
- Easing user workload through an intuitive and extensive GUI
- Simulating chemical kinetics experiments using:
- 0D closed, homogeneous, constant-volume reactor
- 0D closed, homogeneous, constant-pressure reactor
- Custom incident shock reactor for reactions behind incident shock waves
- Importing Cantera-valid mechanisms (CTML/XML input format is currently not supported)
- Reading an experimental directory to quickly switch between experimental conditions and measured data
- Displaying simulated observable over experimental data
- Altering mechanisms within memory and update simulation automatically
- Investigating non-observable variables of simulation using the Sim Explorer within Frhodo
- Optimizing mechanism based upon obervables (by hand or by machine learning routine)
- Automatic routine requires bounds on reaction rate constants
- Automatic routine can optimize all three Arrhenius parameters
