Boulder Examples

Catalog of Cantera reactor-network samples expressed as Boulder STONE YAML files.

Runnable examples may include GUI screenshots in the catalog when present under docs/_static/screenshots/. YAML files are generated with Boulder’s sim2stone workflow from vendored upstream scripts (see Contributing).

Each runnable catalog entry builds a cantera.ReactorNet from an upstream script using DualCanteraConverter (see Usage).
