star-phor-input

star-phor-input is a file format convention for describing photoreactor configurations in the field of photoreactive system engineering. It comes with a dedicated C library and a linter. The star-phor-input file format specification is used as the input for the star-phor solver, which depends on the sphin library.

sphin is a C library designed to parse star-phor-input configuration files and to access the associated data. Thanks to an unstructured scene description, the memory representation is independent of any specific numerical method used to solve the system. This makes the library solver-agnostic while still providing all necessary geometries and physical properties for computation.

sphin-lint is an executable that flags syntactic errors, bugs, stylistic issues, and suspicious constructs in star-phor-input configuration files.
