Laminar flame speed sensitivity analysis
========================================
In this example we simulate a freely-propagating, adiabatic, premixed methane-air flame,
calculate its laminar burning velocity and perform a sensitivity analysis of its
kinetics with respect to each reaction rate constant.
Requires: cantera >= 3.0.0, pandas
.. tags:: Python, combustion, 1D flow, flame speed, premixed flame,
sensitivity analysis, plotting
The figure below illustrates the setup, in a flame-fixed coordinate system. The
reactants enter with density :math:`\rho_u`, temperature :math:`T_u` and speed
:math:`S_u`. The products exit the flame at speed :math:`S_b`, density :math:`\rho_b`
and temperature :math:`T_b`.

# Sensitivity Analysis
# --------------------
#
# See which reactions affect the flame speed the most. The sensitivities can be
# efficiently computed using the adjoint method. In the general case, we consider a
# system :math:`f(x, p) = 0` where :math:`x` is the system's state vector and :math:`p`
# is a vector of parameters. To compute the sensitivities of a scalar function
# :math:`g(x, p)` to the parameters, we solve the system:
#
# .. math::
# \left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\right)^T \lambda =
# \left(\frac{\partial g}{\partial x}\right)^T
#
# for the Lagrange multiplier vector :math:`\lambda`. The sensitivities are then
# computed as
#
# .. math::
# \left.\frac{dg}{dp}\right|_{f=0} =
# \frac{\partial g}{\partial p} - \lambda^T \frac{\partial f}{\partial p}
#
# In the case of flame speed sensitivity to the reaction rate coefficients,
# :math:`g = S_u` and :math:`\partial g/\partial p = 0`. Since
# :math:`\partial f/\partial x` is already computed as part of the normal solution
# process, computing the sensitivities for :math:`N` reactions only requires :math:`N`
# additional evaluations of the residual function to obtain
# :math:`\partial f/\partial p`, plus the solution of the linear system for
# :math:`\lambda`.
#
# Calculation of flame speed sensitivities with respect to rate coefficients is
# implemented by the method `FreeFlame.get_flame_speed_reaction_sensitivities`. For
# other sensitivities, the method `Sim1D.solve_adjoint` can be used.
# Create a DataFrame to store sensitivity-analysis data
sens = pd.DataFrame(index=gas.reaction_equations(), columns=["sensitivity"])
# Use the adjoint method to calculate sensitivities
sens.sensitivity = flame.get_flame_speed_reaction_sensitivities()
# Show the first 10 sensitivities
sens.head(10)
# %%
# Sort the sensitivities in order of descending magnitude
sens = sens.iloc[(-sens['sensitivity'].abs()).argsort()]
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# Reaction mechanisms can contains thousands of elementary steps. Limit the plot
# to the top 15
