About Cantera | ||
************* | ||
|
||
Cantera is an open source scientific computing project, that allows users to | ||
quickly and efficiently incorporate and execute fundamental thermodynamic, | ||
chemical kinetic, and species transport calculations in their work. This can be | ||
achieved by standalone command-line calls to core Cantera functions, | ||
incorporating these calls into bespoke code or software, or by using any of the | ||
solvers or examples distributed with the Cantera software package. | ||
|
||
Cantera was originally started by Prof. David G. Goodwin at the California | ||
Institute of Technology. Building on Prof. Goodwin's legacy, Cantera is licensed | ||
under a permissive 3-Clause BSD license, ensuring that the software will remain | ||
available for all to use. | ||
|
||
Cantera is developed openly on GitHub. Contributions are welcomed from anyone in | ||
the community; please see the `Contributors guide | ||
<https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>`_ for | ||
assistance in getting started. | ||
