QSS Integrator: Python Wrapper for Stiff Chemical Kinetics
Overview During my PhD research in computational combustion, I frequently encountered the challenge of integrating stiff chemical kinetics systems. While the Quasi-Steady State (QSS) method existed in various C++ implementations, there wasn’t a readily accessible Python package that could interface with modern combustion libraries like Cantera. I developed qss-integrator, a Python wrapper around a C++ implementation of the QSS method, to bridge this gap. The package is available on PyPI and has become a core component of my research on reinforcement learning-based adaptive solver selection. ...
