ShearVelocityField

class sharpy.generators.shearvelocityfield.ShearVelocityField

Shear Velocity Field Generator

ShearVelocityField class inherited from BaseGenerator

The object creates a steady velocity field with shear

\[\hat{u} = \hat{u}\_\infty \left( \frac{h - h\_\mathrm{corr}}{h\_\mathrm{ref}} \right)^{\mathrm{shear}\_\mathrm{exp}}\]

\[h = \zeta \cdot \mathrm{shear}\_\mathrm{direction}\]

The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:

Name	Type	Description	Default
u_inf	float	Free stream velocity magnitude	None
u_inf_direction	list(float)	x, y and z relative components of the free stream velocity	numpy.array
shear_direction	list(float)	x, y and z relative components of the direction along which shear applies	numpy.array
shear_exp	float	Exponent of the shear law	0.0
h_ref	float	Reference height at which u_inf is defined	1.0
h_corr	float	Height to correct shear law	0.0
