Class
    Foam::functionObjects::yPlus
 
Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Computes the near wall \f$y_1^+\f$ for turbulence models.
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type           | Location
      input          | -              | -
      output file    | dat | $FOAM_CASE/postProcessing/<FO>/<time>/<file>
      output field   | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    yPlus1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        yPlus;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Optional entries
        useWallFunction    true;
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property   | Description                        | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type       | Type name: yPlus                   | word |  yes  | -
      libs       | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
      useWallFunction | Flag to use the local expressions of <!--
                      --> the selected nut wall function to compute yPlus, <!--
                      --> otherwise directly compute yPlus from flow field <!--
                      -->                             | bool | no    | true
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link writeFile.H \endlink
 
    Minimal example by using the \c postProcess utility:
    \verbatim
        <solver> -postProcess -func yPlus
    \endverbatim
