PrescribedUvlm¶

class sharpy.solvers.prescribeduvlm.PrescribedUvlm[source]¶

This class runs a prescribed rigid body motion simulation of a rigid aerodynamic body.

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

Name	Type	Description	Default
`print_info`	`bool`	Write status to screen	`True`
`structural_solver`	`str`	Structural solver to use in the coupled simulation	`None`
`structural_solver_settings`	`dict`	Dictionary of settings for the structural solver	`None`
`aero_solver`	`str`	Aerodynamic solver to use in the coupled simulation	`None`
`aero_solver_settings`	`dict`	Dictionary of settings for the aerodynamic solver	`None`
`n_time_steps`	`int`	Number of time steps for the simulation	`None`
`dt`	`float`	Time step	`None`
`postprocessors`	`list(str)`	List of the postprocessors to run at the end of every time step	`[]`
`postprocessors_settings`	`dict`	Dictionary with the applicable settings for every `postprocessor`. Every `postprocessor` needs its entry, even if empty	`{}`
`cfl1`	`bool`	If it is `True`, it assumes that the discretisation complies with CFL=1	`True`
`vortex_radius`	`float`	Distance between points below which induction is not computed	`<sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject object at 0x7f8a2858e780>`
