Question about Plotting Vapor Penetration Length

asakusa · October 30, 2017, 05:31

Hello!
I'm a beginner of OpenFOAM and I'm using sprayFoam(in OF4.1). I need to plot the liquid penetration length and vapor penetration length, comparing to the standard result to check if my model is correct. Liquid penetration length can be calculated by the function penetration.(fraction)(the pretty standard of fraction for liquid penetration is 0.95), as the following code in SprayCloud.C:
template<class CloudType>
void Foam::SprayCloud<CloudType>::info()
{
CloudType::info();
scalar d32 = 1.0e+6*this->Dij(3, 2);
scalar d10 = 1.0e+6*this->Dij(1, 0);
scalar dMax = 1.0e+6*this->Dmax();
scalar pen = this->penetration(0.95);

Info << " D10, D32, Dmax (mu) = " << d10 << ", " << d32
<< ", " << dMax << nl
<< " Liquid penetration 95% mass (m) = " << pen << endl;

}
But how can I calculate the vapor penetration of every time step? Should I still use this function? Thank you in advance.

Hi asakusa,

have you found a solution back then?
I am at the same point as you have been.

I also struggle to identify which files and entries from the time directories I have to use for the plot.

I hope you (or anybody else) will still see this.
Thank you so much in advance.

Greetings
