normal_distance

boundarylayer.normal_distance(p0: float) → int

Specify the distance normal from the surface in which to determine the velocity just outside the boundary layer in order to compute the boundary-layer variables at each node on the surface.

Only used for the boundarylayer: determine_velocity_by distance_from_surface option.

Args:

p0:

‘distance_value’ distance from the surface at which to compute the velocity just outside the boundary layer

Examples:

ensight.boundarylayer.determine_velocity_by("distance_from_surface")
ensight.boundarylayer.normal_distance(1.0000e+00)
ensight.part.select_begin(2)
ensight.boundarylayer.create_update()

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
