Mutation++: MUlticomponent Thermodynamic And Transport properties for IONized gases in C++

Year: 2020

Type: software-paper

Abstract: The Mutation++ library provides accurate and efficient computation of physicochemical properties associated with partially ionized gases in various degrees of thermal nonequilibrium. With v1.0.0, users can compute thermodynamic and transport properties, multiphase linearly-constrained equilibria, chemical production rates, energy transfer rates, and gas-surface interactions. The framework is based on an object-oriented design in C++, allowing users to plug-and-play various models, algorithms, and data as necessary. Mutation++ is available open-source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0.
