AutoMPML

Edits a basic .mpml file with the AutoMPML class.

Create the class with options = AutoMPML. Then call the set_methods to set options. Then use write to generate the file. MPML files generated will only work with latest version of IC-FERST. Contact author if you want support for older versions.

class pipemesh.icferst.auto_mpml.AutoMPML
set_all(sim_name=None, msh_file='src/pipe', dump_period=0.1, dump_ids=[], finish_time=1, timestep=0.005, cfl_no=2.0, density=0.001, viscosity=0.001, inlet_phys_ids=[], inlet_velocities=[], outlet_phys_ids=[], cyl_phys_ids=[], min_mesh_size=0.01, max_mesh_size=0.5, max_no_nodes=300000.0, t_adapt_delay=0.5, aspect_ratio=0.5)

Sets all of the options at once.

See base functions for information on what each option sets.

set_inlets(phys_ids, velocities)

Sets the properties for inlets.

Parameters:
  • phys_ids – (list of ints) physical ids of inlet surfaces.
  • velocities – (list of xyz vector lists) velocities for respective physical ids. E.g. velocities[0] corresponds to phys_ids[0]. If not enough vectors are given, the first vector is used for all inlets.
set_io_options(dump_period=0.1, dump_ids=[])

Sets the input/output settings.

Parameters:
  • dump_period – How often to dump vtu files.
  • dump_ids – Physical surfaces to record fluxes.
set_material_properties(density=1000.0, viscosity=0.001)

Sets the material phase properties.

Parameters:
  • density – density of the fluid.
  • viscosity – viscosity of the fluid.
set_mesh_adaptivity(min_size=0.01, max_size=0.5, max_no_nodes=300000, t_adapt_delay=0.5, aspect_ratio=5)

Sets mesh adaptivity options.

Parameters:
  • min_size – Minimum mesh size.
  • max_size – Maximum mesh size.
  • max_no_nodes – Maximum number of nodes. 100,000 is ~16GB of memory.
  • t_adapt_delay – Start adaptive meshing at this time.
  • aspect_ratio – Limit the mesh shape to maximum this aspect ratio.
set_msh_options(msh_file)

Sets the location of the msh_file.

Default is src/pipe. :param msh_file: (string) location .msh file is stored.

set_no_slip(phys_ids)

Sets the no-slip boundary condition.

Parameters:phys_ids – The physical surfaces to set to no-slip.
set_outlets(phys_ids)

Sets the outlet surfaces.

Sets the physical surfaces phys_ids to 0 pressure.

Parameters:phys_ids – The physical surfaces to set to 0 pressure.
set_sim_name(simname)

Sets the name of the simulation.

Default is “3d_pipe”.

set_timestepping(finish_time, timestep=0.005, cfl_no=2.0)

Sets the timestepping options.

Parameters:
  • finish_time – Time the simulations stops.
  • timestep – Initial timestep.
  • cfl_no – CFL number adaptive timestepping aims for.
write_mpml(fname)

Writes the settings to fname.mpml.
