SteadyVelocityField¶

class sharpy.generators.steadyvelocityfield.SteadyVelocityField[source]¶

Steady Velocity Field Generator

SteadyVelocityField class inherited from BaseGenerator

The object creates a steady velocity field with the velocity and flow direction specified by the user.

To call this generator, the generator_id = SteadyVelocityField shall be used. This is parsed as the value for the velocity_field_generator key in the desired aerodynamic solver’s settings.

Parameters

in_dict (dict) –

Input data in the form of dictionary. See acceptable entries below:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`u_inf`	`float`	Free stream velocity magnitude	`0`
`u_inf_direction`	`list(float)`	`x`, `y` and `z` relative components of the free stream velocity	`[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]`

settings_types¶

Type: dict

u_inf¶

Free stream velocity selection

Type: float

u_inf_direction¶
