Non-zero wall velocity using foamToTecplot360

elbertj · October 11, 2010, 18:45

Dear Foamers,
When I use foamToTecplot360 and post-process in Tecplot I observe wall velocities to be non-zero. The boundaryMesh plt file has it right. Does the volume data plt contain data one cell away from wall or is it missing a ghost cell?
Kindly let me know.

Thanks,
Elbert
