Examples#
Follow these tutorials to configure each design, interpret the generated Matplotlib figures, and use the exported coordinates:
Follow the source installation instructions, then run these examples from the repository root:
poetry run python examples/moc_design/nozzle_design.py
poetry run python examples/moc_design/stator_design.py
poetry run python examples/moc_design/rotor_design.py
The nozzle example uses nitrogen at 20 bar with 10 K inlet subcooling, following the flashing case in Cioffi et al. [2026]. The stator example uses cyclopentane at 2.513 bar and an inlet quality of 0.025, following the design conditions in Cioffi et al. [2026]. The rotor example retains a nitrogen relative stagnation state at 20 bar and a vapor mass fraction of 0.5. The theory guide explains the corresponding constructions.
The scripts display Matplotlib figures and save SVG figures and CSV coordinates
under examples/output/nozzle_design/, examples/output/stator_design/, and
examples/output/rotor_design/, respectively. Each script prints its absolute
output directory. Rerunning an example overwrites its own output files.
CSV headers identify the coordinate units: meters for the nozzle and rotor,
and millimeters for the stator blade. The stator also exports its source nozzle
wall in meters. The rotor’s blade.csv contains the assembled blade, while
the *_local.csv files contain passage surfaces in their own local frames.
The tutorials embed the Python scripts directly and show saved SVG figures.
The documentation build does not run the solvers. After changing a design,
rerun its script and copy its SVG files from examples/output/<script_name>/
to docs/source/examples/assets/<script_name>/ to refresh the tutorial figures.
