export_mses_field_to_paraview_xml(analysis_dir: str, x_grid: List[ndarray], y_grid: List[ndarray], headers: List[str], field_array: ndarray) → List[str][source]#

Writes MSES field data to the Paraview XML Structured Grid file type (.vts). A separate file is created for each “zone,” the cells where the Euler equations are solved on each side of the displacement thickness streamlines. These files get stored in <analysis_dir>/Paraviewdata

Parameters:

  • analysis_dir (str) – Directory where the ParaviewData directory will be created

  • x_grid (List[np.ndarray]) – List of grid \(x\)-coordinate arrays (one for each zone). Stored in a “meshgrid”-like format

  • y_grid (List[np.ndarray]) – List of grid \(x\)-coordinate arrays (one for each zone). Stored in a “meshgrid”-like format

  • headers (List[str]) – List of variable names (“Cp”, “M”, etc.)

  • field_array (np.ndarray) – 3-D numpy.ndarray where the first dimension represents a given flow variable, and the second and third dimensions represent the value of the flow variable at indices i and j, respectively

Returns:

Absolute file path to each of the generated .vts files

Return type:

List[str]
