FGM 5D Cantera

Hi guys, 

I am new to Cantera. Does anyone know how to create a 5D flamelet generated manifold using cantera if I have chemical mechanism file? 

Thanks,

Nick

Hey Nick,

Cantera doesn't have any built-in flamelet-generated manifold tabulation capabilities, so you would need to write your own tabulation tool to generate tables. What are the 5 dimensions you are tabulating? Z, Z'', C, ?, ?.  If writing your own tabulation is outside of the scope of the work you are looking to do, and you are only considering ideal gas reactions, Spitfire has some pretty nice tutorials for generating FGM tables directly.

Thank you very much Chris, I think Spitfire is more appropriate for me.
