What it does
Runs Cantera homogeneous chemical reactors and evaluates ignition delay with mechanism provenance, conservation checks, and numerical refinement. Use for combustion kinetics, closed adiabatic ideal-gas constant-volume or constant-pressure ignition, temperature histories, or mechanism-specific ignition-delay comparisons.
Cantera: homogeneous ignition calculations
When to use
Use for a closed, adiabatic, homogeneous ideal-gas reactor with a known kinetic mechanism, initial temperature, pressure, and mole composition. The bundled helper runs both constant volume and constant pressure cases and reports a precisely defined temperature-based delay. It is not a flame solver or a general reactor-network builder.
A calculation completing successfully establishes numerical execution, not mechanism validity for the fuel, pressure, temperature, diluent, or measured ignition observable. Read references/interpretation.md when choosing a mechanism, comparing experiments, or interpreting unresolved/two-stage ignition.
