Frozen shock equations solver.
Project description
Python Real Gas FROzen SHock (PyRGFROSH) Solver
This project is a solver for the frozen shock equations[^1] developed in Python at the University of Central Florida. The original RGFROSH was developed in FORTRAN at Stanford University by D. F. Davidson and R. K. Hanson using real gas subroutines for CHEMKIN[^2][^3].
PyRGFROSH is a Python package (rgfrosh) for calculating conditions behind incident and reflected shock in
a shock tube for an arbitrary equation of state. PyRGFROSH requires a thermodynamic interface
for calculating mixture properties as a function of temperature and pressure and currently supports:
Documentation
The documentation provides a detailed user guide and API reference for the package.
Installation
PyRGFROSH can be installed using
pip install rgfrosh
which also installs required dependencies.
