#!/usr/bin/env python """ Visualize one rotating-cube sample as an mp4. Reads a DECOMPOSED OpenFOAM case directly (no reconstructPar), takes a z=0 slice, and renders an animation of the in-plane wake. The mesh is stored once at t=0 and the cube spins rigidly, so the inner co-rotating cylinder (r < c) is rotated by theta = omega * t per frame to put every cell back at its physical location (omega = 0.25 rad/s about +z, per CLAUDE.md). Velocity is stored in the absolute frame, so scalar fields (vorticity_z, |U|, p) are correct after the point rotation. Headless: matplotlib (Agg) renders frames, imageio-ffmpeg writes the mp4. No display, no system ffmpeg, no ParaView needed. uv run python visualize_sample.py runs/Re100_psi30 uv run python visualize_sample.py runs/Re300_psi0 --field Umag --t0 120 --t1 200 --nframes 300 --fps 30 """ import argparse, glob, os, re, sys import numpy as np import matplotlib matplotlib.use("Agg") import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.tri import Triangulation import pyvista as pv import imageio.v2 as imageio OMEGA = 0.25 # rad/s about +z (CLAUDE.md, locked) R_ROT = 1.0 # co-rotating cylinder radius = c FIELDS = { "vorticity": ("Spanwise vorticity $\\omega_z$", "RdBu_r", True), # signed, symmetric "Umag": ("Velocity magnitude $|U|$", "viridis", False), "p": ("Pressure $p$", "coolwarm", True), } def parse_case(path): name = os.path.basename(os.path.normpath(path)) re_m = re.search(r"Re(\d+)", name) psi_m = re.search(r"psi(\d+)", name) return name, (re_m.group(1) if re_m else "?"), (psi_m.group(1) if psi_m else "?") def make_reader(case): foam = os.path.join(case, os.path.basename(os.path.normpath(case)) + ".foam") if not os.path.exists(foam): open(foam, "w").close() r = pv.POpenFOAMReader(foam) r.case_type = "decomposed" return r def slice_at(reader, t, field): reader.set_active_time_value(float(t)) internal = reader.read()["internalMesh"] if field == "vorticity": # gradient on the 3D volume (full neighbour support) -> clean, no O-grid imprint internal = internal.compute_derivative(scalars="U", vorticity=True) sl = internal.slice(normal="z", origin=(0, 0, 0)) if field == "vorticity" and "vorticity" not in sl.point_data: sl = sl.cell_data_to_point_data() sl = sl.triangulate() # ensure all cells are triangles for matplotlib if field == "vorticity": vals = np.asarray(sl.point_data["vorticity"])[:, 2] elif field == "Umag": vals = np.linalg.norm(sl.point_data["U"], axis=1) else: # p vals = np.asarray(sl.point_data["p"]).ravel() sl.point_data["fld"] = vals # stash so it survives extract_cells reindexing return sl, vals def rotated_parts(sl, t): """Split the slice into rotating (r=R_ROT) meshes by cell centre, with INDEPENDENT points (extract_cells duplicates the interface ring), then rotate only the inner part by theta=OMEGA*t.
