ibl.thwaites_method

Implementations of Thwaites’ method.

This module contains the necessary classes and data for the implementation of Thwaites’ one equation integral boundary layer method. There are two concrete implementations: ThwaitesMethodLinear that is based on the traditional assumption that the ODE to be solved fits a linear relationship, and ThwaitesMethodNonlinear that removes the linear relationship assumption and provides slightly better results in all cases tested.
