> This project is a solver for the frozen shock equations[^1] developed in Python at the
> University of Central Florida. The original RGFROSH was developed in FORTRAN at Stanford 
> University by D. F. Davidson and R. K. Hanson using real gas subroutines for 
> CHEMKIN[^2][^3]. 

`rgfrosh` is a package for calculating conditions behind incident and reflected shock in
a shock tube. As its name suggests, `rgfrosh` was written primarily for solving the frozen shock equations for
a real gas equation of state; however, the implementation also allows for the use of the ideal gas equation of state or 
even custom equations of state. Additionally, an implementation of the ideal shock equations is also available for comparison. 

## Documentation

The [documentation site](https://vasulab.github.io/rgfrosh/latest) provides a detailed 
[user guide](https://vasulab.github.io/rgfrosh/latest/guide/getting-started) and 
[reference](https://vasulab.github.io/rgfrosh/latest/reference) for the package.

## Installation

`rgfrosh` can be installed using

```
pip install rgfrosh
```

which also installs required dependencies. Cantera or CoolProp are optional and must
be installed separately if desired.

## Contributing

For any bugs or feature requests, create an issue on the 
[issue tracker](https://github.com/VasuLab/rgfrosh/issues). 

After cloning the repository, the development environment can be set up with

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Before creating a pull request, be sure to lint

```
black .
```

and run the automated tests

```
pytest
```

These checks will be performed automatically for all pull requests along
with test coverage comparisons.
