Cantera C++ Source Bridge

The Cantera C++ bridge is implemented in:

• src/cantera_interface.cpp

FORD is used primarily for Fortran source documentation. The C++ bridge is linked here because FORD's non-Fortran parsing support is limited.

Role in the solver

cantera_interface.cpp contains the C ABI wrappers used by the Fortran solver to call Cantera for:

• mechanism initialization
• species-name mapping
• transport-property evaluation
• sensible enthalpy evaluation
• temperature recovery from enthalpy
• combined thermo synchronization:

(T, cp, lambda, rho_thermo) = sync(h, Y, p0)

The transported energy state remains h; the C++ bridge updates only dependent thermodynamic properties.
