Physical fields

This page lists all supported physical fields. Every field is identified with an unique key, e.g. temp_3d. The field metadata is defined in field_defs module.

Fields are stored in solver’s fields dictionary: one can access a field Function using:

# dictionary access
solver_obj.fields['temp_3d']
# or attribute access
solver_obj.fields.temp_3d
