Output Formats

The current CLI writes JSON outputs for easy inspection and scripting.

Profiles Output

flow-props profiles writes a list of profile dictionaries.

Each item contains:

  • x
  • y
  • eta
  • one array for each available flow variable

Boundary-Layer Output

flow-props bl writes one object per station with:

  • station
  • delta
  • delta_star
  • theta
  • H

Entropy-Layer Output

flow-props entropy writes one object per station with:

  • station
  • delta_entropy

Wall Output

flow-props wall writes a dictionary of surface arrays. Depending on the inputs you provide, it may contain:

  • tau_w
  • cf
  • qw
  • st

Post-Processing Strategy

These JSON outputs are intended to be lightweight interchange products. They are easy to:

  • inspect directly
  • read into Python for plotting
  • archive with the CFD case inputs
