pyJac 1.0.6

Create analytical Jacobian matrix source code for chemical kinetics

pyJac

This utility creates source code to calculate the Jacobian matrix analytically for a chemical reaction mechanism.

Documentation

The full documentation for pyJac can be found at http://slackha.github.io/pyJac/.

User Group

Further support can be found at our user group, or by opening an issue on our github repo.

Installation

Detailed installation instructions can be found in the full documentation. The easiest way to install pyJac is via conda. You can install to your environment with

> conda install -c slackha pyjac

pyJac can also be installed from PyPI using pip:

pip install pyjac

or, using the downloaded source code, installed as a Python module:

> python setup.py install

Usage

pyJac can be run as a python module:

> python -m pyjac [options]

The generated source code is placed within the out (by default) directory, which is created if it doesn’t exist initially. See the documentation or use python pyjac -h for the full list of options.

Theory

Theory, derivations, validation and performance testing can be found in the paper fully describing version 1.0.2 of pyJac: https://niemeyer-research-group.github.io/pyJac-paper/, now published via https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2017.02.004 and available openly via `arXiv:1605.03262 [physics.comp-ph] <https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.03262>`__.
