Hi Everyone,

I am trying to simulate a flow over a gondola of a wind turbine using OpenFoam. I have an oil cooler sitting over the top of the gondola, which is of rectangular cross-section, with the flow of inlet air in its normal direction. I have defined the cooler as a porous region, using the Darcy's coefficient, d and f. I am trying to find out what is the mean velocity of air passing through this cooler. Since the region is not defined as patch, i cannot use the patchAverage in OF. I used the sampleDict utility to generate only the cooler section data, but i could find no means of averaging it.

Can anyone suggest me a way of doing this?

Thanks in Advance
