flow.Inlet
flow.Inlet(velocity=0.02, temperature=0.0)Air entering the duct at the y = 0 plane.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| velocity | Any | Inlet velocity in lattice units (cells per step) – a scalar, meaning that speed along +Y, or a (3,) vector. Keep the magnitude well under the lattice sound speed 1/sqrt(3); 0.05 or below keeps the compressibility error under a percent. Exactly zero is legal and means no flow: the momentum solve is skipped and the study becomes pure conduction, which is how the conjugate path is checked against :class:~cadjoint.fem.study.ThermalStudy. |
| temperature | float | Temperature of the air arriving. Conventionally 0, because only differences from it mean anything – every temperature this study reports is a rise above the inlet. |
