3.1. Mesh Configuration File#

REQUIRED

This section defines the input to the mesh processor file “Flow360Mesh.json”. If the mesh contains no no-slip walls or sliding interfaces the file contains an empty list.

Default

Description

boundaries

noSlipWalls

[]

[list(string)] List of names of boundary patches, e.g. [“2”,”3”,”7”] (for .ugrid), [“vol-1/wall1”,”vol-2/wall2”] (for .cgns)

slidingInterfaces

[]

[list(dict)] List of pairs of sliding interfaces

stationaryPatches

[]

[list(string)] List of names of stationary boundary patches

rotatingPatches

[]

[list(string)] List of names of dynamic boundary patches

axisOfRotation

[]

[3-array(float)] Axis of rotation

centerOfRotation

[]

[3-array(float)] Center of rotation

Note

“slidingInterfaces” requires multi-block meshes.
