flow_state
Compressible flow state calculations for Python.
Install
pip install flow-state-calculator
Quick Start
API:
from flow_state import solve
# From Mach and altitude
state = solve(mach=2.0, altitude=10000)
# From Mach and stagnation conditions (wind tunnel)
state = solve(mach=6, pres_stag=(140, "psi"), temp_stag=420)
# From Mach and target unit Reynolds number
state = solve(mach=5.3, re1=12.8e6)
print(state) # Full summary
print(state.pres, state.temp, state.re1)
CLI:
flow-state init # Create a config template
flow-state solve # Solve from flow_config.toml

Code Style
This project follows established Python community conventions so that contributors can focus on the physics rather than inventing formatting rules.
| Convention | What it covers | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| PEP 8 | Code formatting, naming, whitespace | Python standard style guide |
| PEP 257 | Docstring structure (triple-quoted, imperative mood) | Python standard docstring conventions |
| numpydoc | Docstring sections (Parameters, Returns, Attributes) |
NumPy/SciPy docstring standard — the norm for scientific Python |
| Ruff | Automated linting and formatting | Enforces PEP 8 compliance automatically |
| typing / TYPE_CHECKING | Type hints for IDE support and static analysis | Python standard library |
Releasing
This project uses Semantic Versioning (vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):
- MAJOR (
v1.0.0,v2.0.0): Breaking API changes - MINOR (
v0.3.0,v0.4.0): New features, backward-compatible - PATCH (
v0.3.1,v0.3.2): Bug fixes, minor corrections
To publish a new version to PyPI:
- Regenerate the API architecture diagram:
pydeps src/flow_state --noshow --max-bacon=4 --cluster -o docs/assets/architecture.svg
- Commit and push to
main - Tag and push:
git tag -a vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH -m "Release vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH" git push origin vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically build and publish to PyPI via Trusted Publishing.
