Computes a scalar variable defined as the component of the skin-friction coefficient tangent or parallel to the wall in either the steam-wise or cross-flow direction

Args:

source_parts:

Any boundary part(s) or a boundary part number.

velocity:

A velocity variable.

viscosity:

A viscosity variable or a value.

free_density:

A constant ‘freestream density’ variable or a constant value(>0.).

free_velocity_mag:

A constant ‘freestream velocity magnitude’ variable or a constant value(>0.).

ymax:

A ymax profiling distance (>0), (enter 0 for convergence alg.).

tangent_flow_comp:

Enter tangent flow component 1=Streamwise or 2=Crosswise to surface.

opt_for_a_gradient_of_velo_mag:

The gradient of the input velocity vector magnitude, or -1 to approximate it.

output_varname:

The name of the newly created variable

Returns:

New ENS_VAR instance or None
