Freestream#

class Freestream[source]#

Bases: BoundaryBaseWithTurbulenceQuantities

Freestream defines the freestream boundary condition.

Example

  • Define freestream boundary condition with velocity expression and boundaries from the volume mesh:

    >>> fl.Freestream(
...     surfaces=[volume_mesh["blk-1/freestream-part1"],
...               volume_mesh["blk-1/freestream-part2"]],
...     velocity = ["min(0.2, 0.2 + 0.2*y/0.5)", "0", "0.1*y/0.5"]
... )

  • Define freestream boundary condition with turbulence quantities and automated farfield:

    >>> auto_farfield = fl.AutomatedFarfield()
... fl.Freestream(
...     entities=[auto_farfield.farfield],
...     turbulence_quantities= fl.TurbulenceQuantities(
...         modified_viscosity_ratio=10,
...     )
... )
