Detailed Description

A surfaceWriter for outputting to a form usable for the timeVaryingMapped boundary condition. This reads the data from constant/boundaryData/<patch> directory.

formatOptions
{
    boundaryData
    {
        header      false;
        format      ascii;
        compression false;
    }
}

Format options:

Property	Description	Required	Default
`header`	Generate files with FoamFile header	no	true
`format`	ascii/binary	no	ascii
`compression`	Use file compression	no	false
`scale`	Output geometry scaling	no	1
`transform`	Output coordinate transform	no
`fieldLevel`	Subtract field level before scaling	no	empty dict
`fieldScale`	Output field scaling	no	empty dict

Typical way of working:

use a sampledSurface of type 'patch' (to sample a patch):

    surfaces
    {
        type            surfaces;
        fields          ( p );
        surfaceFormat   boundaryData;
        formatOptions
        {
            boundaryData
            {
                format  binary;
                fieldLevel
                {
                    p       1e5;    // Absolute -> gauge [Pa]
                }
                fieldScale
                {
                    "p.*"   0.01;   // [Pa] -> [mbar]
                }
            }
        }
        surfaces
        {
            outlet
            {
                type            patch;
                patches         (outlet);
                interpolate     false;
            }
        }
    }

write using this writer.
move postProcessing/surfaces/outlet to constant/boundaryData/outlet in your destination case.
use a timeVaryingMappedFixedValue condition to read and interpolate the profile: type timeVaryingMappedFixedValue; setAverage false; // do not use read average offset 0; // do not apply offset to values

Note:

with 'interpolate false' the data is on the face centres of the patch. Take care that a 2D geometry will only have a single row of face centres so might not provide a valid triangulation (this is what timeVaryingMappedFixedValue uses to do interpolation) (Alternatively use timeVaryingMappedFixedValue with mapMethod 'nearest')

Output file locations

The rootdir normally corresponds to something like postProcessing/<name>

where the geometry is written as:

    rootdir
    `-- surfaceName
        `-- "points"

and field data:

    rootdir
    `-- surfaceName
        |-- "points"
        `-- timeName
            `-- field
