Does OpenFOAM has the functionality to calculate the center of mass for a complex geometry? If yes, how to do that? If no, is it possible to implement it, using the libraries of OpenFOAM?

hjasak will become famous soon enough
Try:

vector c = sum(mesh.V()*mesh.C().internalField())/sum(mesh.V());

You will, of course, need a mesh for your geometry.

Enjoy,
