Crystallization Analysis Toolbox

a SPLIfA project

CAT is an open-source software designed to solve population balance equations as they typically arise in particulate processes and to analyze the results.

Numerical Methods currently supported
- Moving Pivot
- Central Difference
- High Resolution

Features supported by all solvers:
- Nucleation (homogeneous/heterogeneous)
- Growth (size dependent/independent)
- Dissolution (only size independent verified)
- Antisolvent and Temperature profiles in form of anonymous functions or piecewise-linear functions
- Arbitrary grid sizing

Features that are currently planned for the future:
- Ostwald / Viedma Ripening
- Lattice-Boltzman method
- 1D agglomeration and breakage

Further down the line:
- Solution of nD PBE problems and integration with morphology domain plotter

** Installation
See Install.m for installation instructions

** Getting started
After installation, type
>> help CAT
or have a look at the demos to get an idea of how to use the toolbox.

** Bug reports
Please submit bugs via the Github page:
-> https://github.com/SPLIfA/CAT (preferably with a screenshot of the (GUI) settings)
or submit them to 
-> [email protected]
including again a screenshot or a (zipped) mat file of the CAT(Tube) object that generated the problem.
