Getting a copy of EGLIB

Getting a copy of the Library

In order to get the source code for the library, please send an e-mail request to the authors specifying your name, affiliation, and possibly the subpackages you need (see below Source Files for EGLIB). We also recomend that you read the user agreement carefully.

Using this server you can already download the file

eglib.tar.gz

Once you have downloaded eglib.tar.gz, perform the following steps

gunzip eglib.tar.gz
tar -xf eglib.tar (creates a directory called eglib)

The EGLIB Directory

In this directory, you will find the following files

Makefile: a makefile with several possible targets (see below).
README: the information displayed here.
USER_AG: the user agreement.
Fortran programs egfrtp.f and egfrmc.f which can be used in a preprocessing stage to generate the binary file Linkeg (see below).
example.f: a fortran program providing an example of how to use the library.
makeex: the makefile for the example program. File ck.f should contain the Chemkin I package.
manual.ps: a postscript file containing the user's guide with detailed instructions on how to use the library.

Source Files for EGLIB

The source files of the library are:

an initialization routine called EGini.f
a common block used internally by the library and called eg.cmn
three subpackages called EGFlib.f, EGMlib.f and EGSlib.f.
- EGSlib.f contains single input data routines that evaluate transport coefficients for a given state of the mixture, i.e. for given pressure, temperature and species mass fractions.
- EGFlib.f and EGMlib.f contain multiple input data routines that evaluate transport coefficients for a family of states of the mixture. The family of states is typically indexed by the grid nodes discretizing the computational domain or a given subdomain. The difference between EGFlib.f and EGMlib.f arises from the way transport coefficients of vector and matrix type are stored. Extensive details are given in file manual.ps.

Generating the Binary File Linkeg

When the library is initialized, several molecular parameters are read from a binary input file called Linkeg. This file is described in detail in the user's guide. Since most users of the library will probably have these parameters already stored in a binary file resulting from a CHEMKIN transport package (either TPLIB or MCLIB), we have provided two driver programs which generate the binary file Linkeg either from a binary file called Linktp (TPLIB package) or from a binary file called Linkmc (MCLIB package). The driver programs are contained in source files

egfrtp.f
egfrmc.f

Since the format of your Linktp or Linkmc file may be slightly different from the one used by egfrtp.f and egfrmc.f, we recommend that you verify the reading statements in egfrtp.f and egfrmc.f before running them.

Makefile

In order to allow for some flexibility, the Makefile offers several possible targets

EGlib.a (the default): this option will generate the largest possible version of the library including the three sub-packages
EGFlib.a: this option will allow you to initialize the library and to use the routines pertaining to subpackage EGFlib.f.
EGMlib.a: this option will allow you to initialize the library and to use the routines pertaining to subpackage EGMlib.f.
EGSlib.a: this option will allow you to initialize the library and to use the routines pertaining to subpackage EGSlib.f.
egfrtp: this option generates the executable file egfrtp from egfrtp.f. egfrtp can be used in order to generate the binary file Linkeg from Linktp (obtained with TPLIB).
egfrmc: this option generates the executable file egfrmc from egfrmc.f. egfrmc can be used in order to generate the binary file Linkeg from Linkmc (obtained with MCLIB).
clean: this option will remove all the object files.
