In there, you have the option of excluding some faces in your geometry, like inlet, outlet, but also areas where you don't care as much about flow modeling like in some multiphase flow computations.

I will write out a variable of my own turb. model,
but its doesn't work.
First of all I define a ScalarField in my Header,

volScalarField hybrid_;

for the next step I edit the code file with a new Object

hybrid_
(
IOobject
(
"hybrid_",
runTime_.timeName(),

Ok I know it is anyway no real turbulent inlet because there is no turbulence strcuture etc.

Additionally, I was wondering what I have to set for k and epsilon at this turbulent boundary

I found the following issues in OpenFOAM concerning some turbulence analysis:

- the utility createTurbulenceFields only works for RAS computations
- there is no standard utility to average fields after computation has been done (to get U-mean, U-rms, R-Mean, Reff-Mean ...)

So I worked on these utilities and after mentioning it in some posts I got replies and private messages asking me if I could publish
