airmesh

airmesh is a Python package that generates 3D wind-tunnel or wind-domain meshes using pybmesh.
It provides a simple, high-level API (Airmesh) that wraps your internal mesh generators (WindTunnel, WindDomainPolygon) and exports meshes directly to OpenFOAM format.

Features

• Simple high-level interface to build wind-tunnel domains\

• Two mesh generation modes: classical
  Uses the WindTunnel model: a digital wind tunnel made of two parts
  (central fixed core + rotating outer domain).

  advanced
  Uses WindDomainPolygon: a single-block polygonal wind tunnel,
  designed to remain consistent for all wind directions.

• Supports refinement levels, core region settings, domain extrusion, multiple wind directions, etc.

• Direct export to OpenFOAM:

  mesh.write(path=".")
  

• Built on top of pybmesh, scikit-spatial, and gmsh

Installation

pip install airmesh

or when developing locally:

pip install -e .

Usage Example

from airmesh import Airmesh

mesh = Airmesh(
    D=1200,         # diameter of area of interest
    hc=150,         # max height
    hd=600,         # domain height
    dx=2,           # element size in core
    Lc=400,         # core length
    nwdir=16,       # number of wind directions
    vt=[0, 0, 0],   # translation vector
    refLvls=[2, 2], # refinement schedule: two levels, each coarsening by a factor of 2
    optc=0,         # 0=diamond, 1=square, 2=circle
    optm=1,         # 0=simple extrude, 1=advanced
    type="classical",
)

mesh.compute()
mesh.write(path="output/")

This will generate the OpenFOAM blockMeshDict and mesh files inside:

output/Mesh/
