flow360.AutomatedFarfield

class AutomatedFarfield

Bases: Flow360BaseModel

Settings for automatic farfield volume zone generation.

type: Literal['AutomatedFarfield'] = 'AutomatedFarfield'

name: str | None = 'Automated Farfield'

method: Literal['auto', 'quasi-3d'] = 'auto'

• auto: The mesher will Sphere or semi-sphere will be generated based on the bounding box of the geometry.

  • Full sphere if min{Y} < 0 and max{Y} > 0.

  • +Y semi sphere if min{Y} = 0 and max{Y} > 0.

  • -Y semi sphere if min{Y} < 0 and max{Y} = 0.

• quasi-3d: Thin disk will be generated for quasi 3D cases.

  Both sides of the farfield disk will be treated as “symmetric plane”.

property farfield

Returns the farfield boundary surface.

property symmetry_planes

Returns the symmetry plane boundary surface(s).
