Configuration

Use this section to navigate lst.cfg by topic.

Start with Root, Flow Conditions, Geometry, and Meanflow Conversion. Then adjust Solver, Processing, Seed Table, and HPC only when the workflow needs them.

Create a Starting Config

lst-tools init
lst-tools init --geometry cone

Common Editing Order

1. Set the root keys: input_file and lst_exe.
2. Fill flow_conditions and geometry.
3. Adjust meanflow_conversion for the base-flow slice you want.
4. Set sweep or tracking values in lst solver and parameter sections.
5. Add processing, seed-table, or HPC settings only when needed.

Sections

• Root: top-level file paths and solver executable
• Flow Conditions: freestream and reference inputs
• Geometry: geometry type and reference dimensions
• Meanflow Conversion: HDF5 to meanflow.bin controls
• Solver: solver mode, options, run parameters, and I/O paths
• Processing: tracking and spectra post-processing controls
• Seed Table: tracking seed generation controls
• HPC: scheduler-script settings
