Hello:

I'm trying to use fieldAverage, so I added the following to controlDict, in the cavity tutorial:
(sorry for the uggly format)


fieldAverage1
{
type fieldAverage;
functionObjectLibs ("libfieldAverage.so");

fields
(
U
{
mean on;
prime2Mean on;
base time;
}
p
{
mean on;
prime2Mean on;
base time;
}
);


This is the code from the detailed description of the class fieldAverage.
class fieldAverage documentation

I don't get any errors but I don't find any new averages either.
Where should I look for my averages?
What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think you are missing the lines:
functions
(
before
fieldAverage1

/*I found that in OpenFoam1.6.x the library to use is:*/
functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

/*and you also need to add output control:*/

outputControl outputTime; //For example

Hi,

does anybody know, how to pass averaged Fields to solver? Or may be it is possible to execute the fieldAverage1 function directly for the solver and not through the controlDict? Don't be irritated if I'm telling nonsense

Best regards,
Ilya

Hi Ilya, did you make any progress regarding this problem?

Hi all,
Is there any way to get the u' v' and w' (i.e.) velocity fluctuations in three directions either on some probe location or as a field (without averaging).

Hi Awais,

check this thread and take a look at the solution proposed by Niklas.
