Computes a scalar variable defined as the boundary momentum thickness
- Args:
- source_parts:
Any boundary part(s) or a boundary part number.
- velocity:
A velocity variable.
- density:
A density variable or a value.
- ymax:
A ymax profiling distance (>0), (enter 0 for convergence alg.).
- flow_dir_i_comp:
Enter flow direction: 0=Tangent to surface, or this Tangent flow’s 1=Streamwise or 2=Crosswise component.
- flow_dir_j_comp:
Enter flow direction: 0=Tangent to surface, or this Tangent flow’s 1=Streamwise or 2=Crosswise component.
- 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
