SymmetryPlane

SymmetryPlane#

class SymmetryPlane[source]#

Bases: BoundaryBase

SymmetryPlane defines the symmetric boundary condition. It is similar to SlipWall, but the normal gradient of scalar quantities are forced to be zero on the symmetry plane. Only planar surfaces are supported.

Example

>>> fl.SymmetryPlane(entities=volume_mesh["fluid/symmetry"])

  • Define SymmetryPlane boundary condition with automated farfield symmetry plane boundaries:

    >>> auto_farfield = fl.AutomatedFarfield()
>>> fl.SymmetryPlane(
...     entities=[auto_farfield.symmetry_planes],
... )

Attributes

entities: EntityList[Surface, MirroredSurface, GhostSurface, GhostCircularPlane]#

List of boundaries with the SymmetryPlane boundary condition imposed.

name: str, optional#

Name of the SymmetryPlane boundary condition.

Default:

'Symmetry'
