Meanflow Conversion

Set parameters to control the HDF5 to meanflow.bin conversion step.

Key Type Default Description
i_s int 0 Start index
i_e int - End index
d_i int 1 Index stride
set_v_zero bool true Zero out wall-normal velocity
nondimensionalize bool false Scale dimensional flow fields by freestream references

Adjust these fields when the converted meanflow should use a specific streamwise slice range or stride.

When dimensional input is detected but this option is false, lst-tools lastrac warns that dimensional values will be written. For the legacy lst.x workflow, set it to true when nondimensional profiles are required. Velocity is scaled by uvel_inf, temperature by temp_inf, and pressure by dens_inf * uvel_inf²; ensure those freestream values match the HDF5 data. The source HDF5 is not changed.
