StraightWake

class sharpy.generators.straightwake.StraightWake

Straight wake shape generator

StraightWake class inherited from BaseGenerator

The object creates a straight wake shedding from the trailing edge based on the time step dt, the incoming velocity magnitude u_inf and direction u_inf_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	1.0
u_inf_direction	list(float)	x, y and z relative components of the free stream velocity	numpy.array
dt	float	Time step	0.1
dx1	float	Size of the first wake panel	-1.0
ndx1	int	Number of panels with size dx1	1
r	float	Growth rate after ndx1 panels	1.0
dxmax	float	Maximum panel size	-1.0
