aerokit 1.2.1

Python tools for basic fluid mechanics computations

AeroKit

Python packages for compressible flow computations

Features

• Mach dependent functions for isentropic total pressure, temperature and mass flow
• local Rankine-Hugoniot shock wave equations (or 2d planar shocks) and conical shock waves
• Fanno equations for momentum losses in a duct
• Rayleigh equations for heating/cooling in a duct
• unsteady compressible 1D flows
• 1D stability equations: Orr-Sommerfeld and linearized compressible inviscid
• applications:
  • nozzle flows
  • (Riemann) shock tube
  • Channel incompressible flow stability (Poiseuille)
• degree based trigonometric functions
• real gaz and kerozen thermo functions
• Newton iterative solve, ODE integration, Chebyshev spectral discretization
