Define Solver Inputs

Solver inputs describe the local physical similarity problem.

At minimum, a solve needs an edge Mach number and edge temperature. Most real cases also specify a wall condition, gas constants, pressure-gradient parameter, and viscosity model.

Input Meaning
mach_edge Local edge Mach number
temp_edge Local edge temperature in K
wall_bc adiabatic or isothermal
temp_wall Wall temperature in K for isothermal walls
beta Hartree pressure-gradient parameter
gamma Ratio of specific heats
prandtl Prandtl number
viscosity_model Dynamic viscosity model
sweep_angle Sweep angle in degrees for FSC solves

If edge conditions vary with streamwise location, define a separate local input state at each station. simbl then solves a locally self-similar problem for each station rather than one fully non-similar streamwise evolution.
