ASALI is an open-source code for solving gas thermodynamic and transport properties, catalytic reactors and chemical equilibrium calculations. ASALI is based on CANTERA open-source suite, EIGEN libraries, GTKMM libraries and GNUPLOT. CANTERA estimates the thermodynamic and transport properties based on the kinetic gas theory and NASA database, EIGEN libraries manage the complex numerical part of ASALI and GTKMM libraries handles the graphical interface. Moreover the plots are generated by using GNUPLOT.

1. Ubuntu Version

The installation of ASALI requires to install CANTERA and GNUPLOT. It also requires EIGEN and GTKMM libraries.

1.1 How to install CANTERA

CANTERA can be installed with the following commands:

  • sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
  • sudo apt-add-repository ppa:speth/cantera
  • sudo aptitude update
  • sudo aptitude install cantera-python cantera-python3 cantera-dev

More details can be found at: http://www.cantera.org/docs/sphinx/html/install.html

1.2 How to install EIGEN libraries

EIGEN libraries can be downloaded from: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org

1.3 How to install GTKMM libraries

GTKMM libraries can be downloaded with the following command:

  • sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-3.0-dev

More details can be found at: https://www.gtkmm.org/en/

1.4 How to install GNUPLOT

GNUPLOT can be installed with the following command:

  • sudo apt-get install gnuplot

Details can be found at: http://gnuplot.info/

1.5 How to install ASALI

To install ASALI modify the make file as follow:

  • change the environmental variable CANTERA with the path of you CANTERA installation.
    • E.g. export CANTERA=/my/cantera/installation
  • change the environmental variable EIGEN with the path of your EIGEN libraries.
    • E.g. export EIGEN=/my/eigen/libraries

Once you have changed the environmental variables, run the following commands:

./make.sh

sudo ln -s $HOME/your/asali/folder/Asali /usr/bin/Asali

To run ASALI:

Asali

2. Windows Version

To install ASALI on Windows just double click on Asali-Setup and follow the instructions.

3. Matlab/Octave Version

The Matlab/Octave version of ASALI is totally self-coded, so it is not based on CANTERA, EIGEN libraries and GTKMM libraries. To use ASALI in MATLAB/Octave download Asali.exe and Asali.m and save them in your working folder.
