ShearVelocityField¶

class sharpy.generators.shearvelocityfield.ShearVelocityField[source]¶

Shear Velocity Field Generator

ShearVelocityField class inherited from BaseGenerator

The object creates a steady velocity field with shear

\[\hat{u} = \hat{u}\_\infty \left( \frac{h - h\_\mathrm{corr}}{h\_\mathrm{ref}} \right)^{\mathrm{shear}\_\mathrm{exp}}\]

\[h = \zeta \cdot \mathrm{shear}\_\mathrm{direction}\]

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	`None`
`u_inf_direction`	`list(float)`	`x`, `y` and `z` relative components of the free stream velocity	`<sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject object at 0x7f261178d160>`
`shear_direction`	`list(float)`	`x`, `y` and `z` relative components of the direction along which shear applies	`<sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject object at 0x7f261178d2b0>`
`shear_exp`	`float`	Exponent of the shear law	`0.0`
`h_ref`	`float`	Reference height at which `u_inf` is defined	`1.0`
`h_corr`	`float`	Height to correct shear law	`0.0`
