atareen64 is on a distinguished road
Hello all,

I'm trying to analyze the boundary layer growth of a fluid near a wall in a simulation that I did with openfoam. The way I'm do that is that I take cross-sectional cuts of the velocity profile and plot the 2d data and look at the 99% value of velocity by eye and record the value.

This is a very inefficient way of doing it, and ideally I'd like to have a script that does that for me automatically. Writing python, C++ or Java programs isn't a problem for me, I just need to know how or where I can get started.
How would I get started doing something like this? Any help, pointers or suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Ammar.
