Detailed Description

Calculates and writes out the time taken for a particle to travel from an inlet to the location. Solves the following equation when incompressible:

\[ \div (\phi t) = 1 \]

where

\( t \)	=	Age [s]
\( \phi \)	=	Volumetric flux [m^3/s]

Boundary conditions are generated automatically as zeroGradient on all walls and inletOutlet everywhere else.

Usage

Minimal example by using system/controlDict.functions:

age1
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            age;
    libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

    // Optional entries
    phi             <word>;
    rho             <word>;
    schemesField    <word>;
    tolerance       <scalar>;
    nCorr           <int>;
    diffusion       <bool>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
`type`	Type name: age	word	yes	-
`libs`	Library name: fieldFunctionObjects	word	yes	-
`phi`	Name of flux field	word	no	phi
`rho`	Name of density field	word	no	rho
`schemesField`	Name of the field from which schemes are taken	word	no	age
`tolerance`	Solver residual control	scalar	no	1e-5
`nCorr`	Maximum number of correctors	int	no	5
`diffusion`	Flag to turn on/off the diffusion term	bool	no	false
