The nearWallFields
function object samples near-patch volume fields within an input distance range.
Operand | Type | Location |
---|---|---|
input | vol<Type>Field | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField> |
output file | - | - |
output field | vol<Type>Field | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField> |
where <Type>=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor
.
Example of the nearWallFields
function object by using functions
sub-dictionary in system/controlDict
file:
nearWallFields1 { // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable) type nearWallFields; libs (fieldFunctionObjects); fields ( (<field1> <outField1>) (<field2> <outField2>) ); patches (<patch1> <patch2> ... <patchN>); distance 0.01; // Optional (inherited) entries 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: nearWallFields | word | yes | - |
libs | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word | yes | - |
fields | Names of input-output fields | wordHashTable | yes | - |
patches | Names of patches to sample | wordList | yes | - |
distance | Wall-normal distance from patch to sample | scalar | yes | - |
