fieldFavreAverage

Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

postProcessingModels
(
    fieldFavreAverage
);
fieldFavreAverageProps
{
    startTime        scalar;
    scalarFieldNames wordList;
    vectorFieldNames wordList;
    voidfractionFieldName "voidfraction";
    particleDensity  scalar;
};

  • startTime = time to start temporal averaging

  • scalarFieldNames = list of the names of the finite volume scalar fields to be temporally averaged

  • vectorFieldNames = list of the names of the finite volume vector fields to be temporally averaged

  • voidfractionFieldName = name of the voidfraction field (default: “voidfraction”)

  • particleDensity = particle density

Examples

postProcessingModels
(
    fieldFavreAverage
);
fieldFavreAverageProps
{
    startTime        1.0;
    scalarFieldNames ( "voidfraction" );
    vectorFieldNames ( "U" "Us" );
    voidfractionFieldName "voidfraction";
    particleDensity  2500;
}

Description

Starting at start time the specified fields are Favre-averaged (weighted with particle bulk density and time averaged) and written at writeTime as specified in controlDict. They can then be probed using standard function object probes. The output name is timeRelaxed_scalarField, where scalarField is the name of the original field.

Restrictions

None.
