StreamlineOutput

StreamlineOutput#

class StreamlineOutput[source]#

Bases: _OutputBase

StreamlineOutput class for calculating streamlines. Stramtraces are computed upwind and downwind, and may originate from a single point, from a line, or from points evenly distributed across a parallelogram.

Example

Define a StreamlineOutput with streaptraces originating from points, lines (PointArray), and parallelograms (PointArray2D).

  • Point_1 and Point_2 are two specific points we want to track the streamlines.

  • Line_streamline is from (1,0,0) * fl.u.m to (1,0,-10) * fl.u.m and has 11 points, including both starting and end points.

  • Parallelogram_streamline is a parallelogram in 3D space with an origin at (1.0, 0.0, 0.0), a u-axis orientation of (0, 2.0, 2.0) with 11 points in the u direction, and a v-axis orientation of (0, 1.0, 0) with 20 points along the v direction.

...     entities=[

...             name="Point_1",

...             end=(1.0, 0.0, -10.0) * fl.u.m,
...             number_of_points=11,
...         ),
...         fl.PointArray2D(
...             name="Parallelogram_streamline",
...             origin=(1.0, 0.0, 0.0) * fl.u.m,
...             u_axis_vector=(0, 2.0, 2.0) * fl.u.m,
...             v_axis_vector=(0, 1.0, 0) * fl.u.m,
...             u_number_of_points=11,
...             v_number_of_points=20

Attributes

output_fields: UniqueItemList[UserVariable], optional#

List of output variables. Vector-valued fields will be colored by their magnitude.

Default:

[]

name: str, optional#

Name of the StreamlineOutput.

Default:

'Streamline output'

entities: EntityList[Point, PointArray, PointArray2D]#

List of monitored Point/PointArray/PointArray2D entities belonging to this streamline group. PointArray is used to define streamline originating along a line. PointArray2D is used to define streamline originating from a parallelogram.
