flow360.UserDefinedFarfield#

class UserDefinedFarfield[source]#

Bases: _FarfieldBase

Setting for user defined farfield zone generation. This means the “farfield” boundaries are coming from the supplied geometry file and meshing will take place inside this “geometry”.

Important: By default, the volume mesher will grow boundary layers on UserDefinedFarfield. Use PassiveSpacing to project or disable boundary layer growth.

Example

>>> fl.UserDefinedFarfield(name="InnerChannel")
type: Literal['UserDefinedFarfield'] = 'UserDefinedFarfield'#
name: str | None = None#
property symmetry_plane: GhostSurface#

Returns the symmetry plane boundary surface.

Warning: This should only be used when using GAI and beta mesher.

domain_type: Literal['half_body_positive_y', 'half_body_negative_y', 'full_body'] | None = None#

  • half_body_positive_y: Trim to a half-model by slicing with the global Y=0 plane; keep the ‘+y’ side for meshing and simulation.

  • half_body_negative_y: Trim to a half-model by slicing with the global Y=0 plane; keep the ‘-y’ side for meshing and simulation.

  • full_body: Keep the full body for meshing and simulation without attempting to add symmetry planes.

Warning: When using AutomatedFarfield, setting domain_type overrides the ‘auto’ symmetry plane behavior.
