forceModel_fieldTimeAverage command
Syntax
Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.
forceModels
(
fieldTimeAverage
);
fieldTimeAverageProps
{
startTime time;
scalarFieldNames
(
"scalarField"
);
vectorFieldNames
(
"vectorField"
);
};
time = (optional) time to start temporal averaging
scalarField = names of the finite volume scalar fields to be temporally averaged
vectorField = names of the finite volume vector fields to be temporally averaged
Examples
forceModels

fieldTimeAverage
);
fieldTimeAverageProps
{
startTime 1.0;

"voidfraction"
);
vectorFieldNames
(
"Us"
);
}
Description
This “forceModel” does not influence the particles or the simulation - it is a postprocessing tool! Starting at start time the specified fields are temporally averaged and written at “writeTime”. They can then be probed using standard function object probes. The output name is timeAverage_scalarField, where scalarField is the name of the original field.
Restrictions
none.
