Dear Foamers,

I am new to both Paraview and Openfoam.

I have used a wallHeatFlux for one of the transient case. When I open paraview after using this utilty I see a new field in paraview as wallHeatFlux.

please guide me step by step (after getting the wall heat transfer field in paraview) to obtain the following,

1. the average nusselt number for any patch (boundary) for the given time step.

2. Plot of average Nusselt number versus time for the given patch (boundary). (can I do it by using patchAverage utility or by using paraview alone?)

thanks for all the help in advance.

waiting anxiously
