The enstrophy
function object computes the enstrophy of an input volVectorField
.
Enstrophy, i.e. \(\xi\):
\[ \xi = 0.5 \mag{\nabla \times \u}^2 \]
where \(\u\) is the input volVectorField
.
Operand | Type | Location |
---|---|---|
input | volVectorField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField> |
output file | - | - |
output field | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField> |
Example of the enstrophy
function object by using functions
sub-dictionary in system/controlDict
file:
enstrophy1 { // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable) type enstrophy; libs (fieldFunctionObjects); // Optional (inherited) entries field <inputField>; result <fieldResult>; region region0; enabled true; log true; timeStart 0; timeEnd 1000; executeControl timeStep; executeInterval 1; writeControl timeStep; writeInterval 1; }
where the entries mean:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
type | Type name: enstrophy | word | yes | - |
libs | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word | yes | - |
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
