DynamicCyl.compute(time)¶Run thermal calculations
DynamicCyl.initialize()¶Initialize solver.
This method manually initialized the solver and sets initialized to
True. Normally calling it is not necessary, as each solver automatically
initializes itself when needed.
| Returns: | solver initialized state prior to this method call. |
|---|---|
| Return type: | bool |
DynamicCyl.invalidate()¶Set the solver back to uninitialized state.
This method frees the memory allocated by the solver and sets
initialized to False.
DynamicCyl.inHeat¶Receiver of the heat sources density required for computations [W/m³].
You will find usage details in the documentation of the receiver class
HeatReceiverCyl.
Example
Connect the reveiver to a provider from some other solver:
>>> solver.inHeat = other_solver.outHeat
See also
Receciver class: plask.flow.HeatReceiverCyl
Provider class: plask.flow.HeatProviderCyl
Data filter: plask.filter.HeatFilterCyl
DynamicCyl.outHeatFlux(mesh, interpolation='default')¶Provider of the computed heat flux [W/m²].
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | Data with the heat flux on the specified mesh [W/m²]. |
Example
Connect the provider to a receiver in some other solver:
>>> other_solver.inHeatFlux = solver.outHeatFlux
Obtain the provided field:
>>> solver.outHeatFlux(mesh)
<plask.Data at 0x1234567>

DynamicCyl.outTemperature(mesh, interpolation='default')¶Provider of the computed temperature [K].
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | Data with the temperature on the specified mesh [K]. |
Example
Connect the provider to a receiver in some other solver:
>>> other_solver.inTemperature = solver.outTemperature
Obtain the provided field:
>>> solver.outTemperature(mesh)

DynamicCyl.outThermalConductivity(mesh, interpolation='default')¶Provider of the computed thermal conductivity [W/(m×K)].
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | Data with the thermal conductivity on the specified mesh [W/(m×K)]. |
Example
Connect the provider to a receiver in some other solver:

DynamicCyl.algorithm¶Chosen matrix factorization algorithm
DynamicCyl.geometry¶Geometry provided to the solver
DynamicCyl.id¶Id of the solver object. (read only)
Example
>>> mysolver.id
mysolver:category.type
DynamicCyl.include_empty¶Should empty regions (e.g. air) be included into computation domain?
DynamicCyl.initialized¶True if the solver has been initialized. (read only)
Solvers usually get initialized at the beginning of the computations.
You can clean the initialization state and free the memory by calling
the invalidate() method.
DynamicCyl.inittemp¶Initial temperature [K]
DynamicCyl.logfreq¶Frequency of iteration progress reporting
DynamicCyl.lumping¶Chosen mass matrix type from lumped or non-lumped (consistent)
DynamicCyl.mesh¶Mesh provided to the solver

| Type: | Initial parameter determining the calculation method |
|---|
DynamicCyl.rebuildfreq¶Frequency of rebuild mass
DynamicCyl.temperature_boundary¶Boundary conditions for the constant temperature
This field holds a list of boundary conditions for the solver. You may access and alter is elements a normal Python list. Each element is a special class that has two attributes:
place |
Boundary condition location (plask.mesh.RectangularBase2D.Boundary). |
value |
Boundary condition value. |
When you add new boundary condition, you may use two-argument append, or
prepend methods, or three-argument insert method, where you separately
specify the place and the value. See the below example for clarification.
Example
>>> solver.temperature_boundary.clear()
>>> solver.temperature_boundary.append(solver.mesh.Bottom(), some_value)
>>> solver.temperature_boundary[0].value = different_value
>>> solver.temperature_boundary.insert(0, solver.mesh.Top(), new_value)
>>> solver.temperature_boundary[1].value == different_value
True
DynamicCyl.time¶Time of calculations performed so far since the last solver invalidation.
DynamicCyl.timestep¶Time step [ns]
