StallCheck

class sharpy.postproc.stallcheck.StallCheck

Outputs the incidence angle of every panel of the surface as cell variables for visualisation in Paraview.

Note

This postprocessor appends the information to the current SHARPy timestep being run, therefore, in order to visualise the result in Paraview, it must be run prior to AerogridPlot. Otherwise, the panel stall check will be performed but the actual angle not produced in the Paraview visualisation.

It also checks that the angles do not exceed the specified limit, with a warning in the log if the angle of attack exceeds such limits (both positive and negative).

The limits are set through the setting airfoil_stall_angles, which takes a dictionary where the key is the ID to the airfoil (in string format) and the value is a 2-tuple containing the negative and positive limits in radians.

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

Name	Type	Description	Default
print_info	bool	Print info to screen	True
airfoil_stall_angles	dict	Dictionary of stall angles for each airfoil as per the details above	{}
output_degrees	bool	Output incidence angles in degrees vs radians	False
