StraightWake¶

class sharpy.generators.straightwake.StraightWake[source]¶

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	`<sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject object at 0x7f8a28a29630>`
`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`
