Hi Foamers,

I am using the type : probes , to get the pressure field at a specific point of the domain (front of a cube).

I use the following code which I include in controlDict :

Probes
{
		type			probes;
		functionObjectLibs	("libsampling.so");
		
		probeLocations
		(
			(30.77 28.5 5.7)
			(33.59 28.5 5.7)
			(36.39 28.5 5.7)
			(39.15 28.5 5.7)
			(41.99 28.5 5.7)
			(44.77 28.5 5.7)
			(30.77 29.9 5.7)
			(30.77 27.1 5.7)
						
		);
		
		fields
		(
			p p_rgh U
		);
		
		writeControl timeStep;
		writeInterval 1;
		
}

The issue is that I want the total pressure in x,y and z at each point (at each time step), from what I have understood it gives the resultant of the total pressure ?

I would like to have : Probe 0 : (Px Py Pz) at each time step.

For P the file looks like this :

# Probe 0 (30.77 28.5 5.7)
# Probe 1 (33.59 28.5 5.7)
# Probe 2 (36.39 28.5 5.7)
# Probe 3 (39.15 28.5 5.7)
# Probe 4 (41.99 28.5 5.7)
# Probe 5 (44.77 28.5 5.7)
# Probe 6 (30.77 29.9 5.7)
# Probe 7 (30.77 27.1 5.7)
#       Probe             0             1             2             3             4             5             6             7
#        Time

How can I do this ?

Thanks!

any ideas ?

I did not test it, but I would try the following:

1. Use the totalPressureCompressible/totalPressureIncompressible function object to get the total pressure.
2. Add the name of the total pressure field (should be total(p)) to the fields subdictionary.
