PrescribedUvlm

class sharpy.solvers.prescribeduvlm.PrescribedUvlm

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	sharpy.utils.constants.vortex_radius_def
vortex_radius_wake_ind	float	Distance between points below which induction is not computed in the wake convection	sharpy.utils.constants.vortex_radius_def
