buffalo_wings.airfoil.airfoil_surface_samples_to_dict(samples, *, include_parameters=True, include_derivatives=True, include_diagnostics=True)[source]

Convert a full two-surface sampling payload to plain Python data.

Parameters:

  • samples (AirfoilSurfaceSamples) – Full downstream surface-sampling payload produced by the public sampling API.

  • include_parameters (bool, default True) – Whether to include sampled xi, surface-local arc length, and native curve parameter vectors inside the lower and upper surface payloads.

  • include_derivatives (bool, default True) – Whether to include slope, finite-slope flags, and curvature inside the lower and upper surface payloads.

  • include_diagnostics (bool, default True) – Whether to include serialized structured diagnostics.

Returns:

Export-friendly mapping containing both sampled surfaces, point metadata, chord length, and optional serialized diagnostics.

Return type:

dict[str, object]
