barotropy 0.0.3

A Python tool for barotropic fluid property modeling.

Barotropy

This repository contains functions for generating a barotropic model for fluid properties, a simplified mathematical representation that assumes fluid properties are only a function of pressure. This approach can be particularly useful in CFD modeling, as it offers a faster and more robust alternative to more complex fluid models. Barotropic models are particularly relevant for certain types of flows, such as two-phase flowsin turbomachinery. In such applications, the barotropic model is advantageous because it can approximate scenarios where the fluid follows a known thermodynamic process, such as an adiabatic process within a turbine or compressor.

Getting Started

To begin using barotropy, install it via pip:

pip install barotropy

After installation, verify that everything is set up correctly by running the following command in your terminal:

python -c "import barotropy; barotropy.print_package_info()"
