pyLBM.elements.Sphere¶

class pyLBM.elements.Sphere(center, radius, label=0, isfluid=False)¶

Class Sphere

Parameters:	center : a list that contains the three coordinates of the center radius : a positive float for the radius label : list of one integer (default [0]) isfluid : boolean True if the sphere is added False if the sphere is deleted

Examples

the sphere centered in (0, 0, 0) with radius 1

>>> center = [0., 0., 0.]
>>> radius = 1.
>>> Sphere(center, radius)
    Sphere([0 0 0],1) (solid)

Attributes

number_of_bounds	(int) 1
center	(numpy array) the coordinates of the center of the sphere
radius	(double) positive float for the radius of the sphere
label	(list of integers) the list of the label of the edge
isfluid	(boolean) True if the sphere is added and False if the sphere is deleted

Methods

get_bounds()	Get the bounds of the sphere.
point_inside(grid)	return a boolean array which defines
distance(grid, v[, dmax])	Compute the distance in the v direction between the sphere and the points defined by (x, y, z).
