pylbm.elements.Ellipsoid¶

class pylbm.elements.Ellipsoid(center, v1, v2, v3, label=0, isfluid=False)¶

Class Ellipsoid

Parameters

• center (a list that contains the three coordinates of the center) –

• v1 (a vector) –

• v2 (a vector) –

• v3 (a vector (v1, v2, and v3 have to be orthogonal)) –

• label (list of one integer (default [0])) –

• isfluid (boolean) –

  • True if the ellipsoid is added

  • False if the ellipsoid is deleted

Examples

the ellipsoid centered in (0, 0, 0) with v1=[3,0,0], v2=[0,2,0], and v3=[0,0,1]

>>> center = [0., 0., 0.]
>>> v1, v2, v3 = [3,0,0], [0,2,0], [0,0,1]
>>> Ellipsoid(center, v1, v2, v3)
    Ellipsoid([0 0 0], [3 0 0], [0 2 0], [0 0 1]) (solid)

__init__(center, v1, v2, v3, label=0, isfluid=False)¶

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__(center, v1, v2, v3[, label, isfluid])	Initialize self.
distance(grid, v[, dmax])	Compute the distance in the v direction between the ellipsoid and the points defined by (x, y, z).
get_bounds()	Get the bounds of the ellipsoid.
point_inside(grid)	return a boolean array which defines if a point is inside or outside of the ellipsoid.
test_label()	test if the number of labels is equal to the number of bounds.
