The fluid velocity is limited to :math:`v_{\\mathrm{max}} = 0.20` (see *quasi-incompressible limit* in :cite:`kruger17a`, chapter 7, page 272), which corresponds to Mach 0.35. The relative error in the fluid density between a compressible fluid and an incompressible fluid at Mach 0.30 is less than 5% (see *constant density assumption* in :cite:`kundu01a` chapter 16, page 663). Since the speed of sound is :math:`c_s = 1 / \\sqrt{3}` in LB velocity units in a D3Q19 lattice, the velocity limit at Mach 0.30 is :math:`v_{\\mathrm{max}} = 0.30 / \\sqrt{3} \\approx 0.17`. At Mach 0.35 the relative error is around 6% and :math:`v_{\\mathrm{max}} = 0.35 / \\sqrt{3} \\approx 0.20`. Parameters ---------- shape : :obj:`espressomd.shapes.Shape` The shape from which to build the boundary. velocity : (3,) array_like of :obj:`float`, optional The boundary slip velocity. By default, a velocity of zero is used (no-slip boundary condition). """ _so_name = "LBBoundaries::LBBoundary" _so_bind_methods = ("get_force",)
