User Guide

The aerokit package mainly consists in aerokit.aero module for various gas function computations. Default gas definition is handled in aerokit.common.defaultgas module.

Most implemented functions use normalized properties.

aerokit.aero module

• Isentropic: isentropic functions for compressible ideal flows (total quantities)
• MassFlow: mass flow normalization, choking, 1D nozzle
• Supersonic: supersonic specific functions (invariants, Prandtl-Meyer/Busemann function)
• ShockWave: 2D or conical shockwaves (Rankine-Hugoniot equations)
• Propulsion: flow functions for thrust
• Fanno: Fanno 1D flow (momentum source)
• Rayleigh: Rayleigh 1D flow (energy source)
• model1D: class for 1D compressible state
• unsteady1D: extended class for 1D unsteady computations

aerokit.instance module

• riemann: solution for generalized Riemann problems (shock tube)
• nozzle: solution of 1D nozzle problem
