Hey Foamers,

I want the areaAverage of a variable on a plane. Is there a way to do this?

I get the areaAverage of a patch with this entry:

T_ave_7174
{
type faceSource;
functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
enabled true;
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 1;
log true;
valueOutput off;
source patch;
sourceName outlet;
operation areaAverage;
surfaceFormat raw;
fields
(
T
);
}

and I get the values on my plane with this:

cuttingPlane
{
type surfaces;
functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 1;

surfaceFormat raw;
interpolationScheme cellPoint;

fields (T);

surfaces
(
neckCut
{
type cuttingPlane;
planeType pointAndNormal;
pointAndNormalDict
{
basePoint (0 0 0.723);
normalVector (0 0 1);
}
interpolate true;
}
);
}

the sampling entry output the all cell values. Is there a way to output only the areaAverage??


Thanks
