Hello,

I am simulating a n-Heptane (C7H16) injection into a cubic chamber, based on experimental data from the Experimental Combustion Network, Sandia National Laboratories.

I ran different meshes and made up a shortlist. In order to make the best choice,
I wanted to compare my results not only to the experimental results of liquid penetration length, but also to the vapor penetration length.
The former wasn't a problem at all to plot, but the latter gives me some headaches at the moment.

As i already ran the simulations I am looking for a post processing solution.

I am struggling to identify the values of importance from my time directories.
The C7H16 file contains the volScalarField for all the cells, but which values do I need?
I dont get the structure of that file.

I need the values along the x-axis, which is also the axis of injection in my mesh.

Can someone give me any advice?
I am new to OpenFOAM, and here I really can't go further without any help.
I might as well be on the completely wrong path.


Greetings,
Roman
