I never actually did any kind of wiki entry but I will try to find time at the weekend!

Okay:
I did a sum of the area as well and compared it to paraView: 99.71% identical size.

I triple checked using the same data and I put more of the function objects in line and compared them to the results from paraView (they showed the same behaviour in pressure loss, but the values differ).

Now its time to learn about the sample utility (that I so far avoided).

And thanks again! I know that this is not self understanding and appreciate it.

Next step:

I defined a sampleDict with a plane exactly like in the function object and made samples of U, magU, p.
Integrating the sampled surfaces in paraView leads me to 12 m/s, so different from the areaAverage provided by the function Object.

Maybe I defined something wrong in my use of the function object, but I have no clue.

Hi Benhard,

     );
     expression "vol()*mag(U)/totalV";
     accumulations (
        sum
     );
}
);
That would be the volume-weighted average.
If I understood it correctly, vol() corresponds to mesh.V() in the OF. What would be the swak-alternative for mesh.C()? What I want to do is to calculate the center of mass
Code:
centerMass = fvc::domainIntegrate(rho*mesh.C()) / fvc::domainIntegrate(rho)
using function objects.

Is there any documentation containing all functions available in libsimpleSwakFunctionObjects.so and libswakFunctionObjects.so? I've tried to search for something like that, but found just small peaces in the Wiki and in the forum.

Best regards,
Ilya

The equivalent for mesh.C() would be pos()

The only reference documentation of swak4Foam (that I know of ) is the "Incomplete reference Guide" that comes with the sources. Expressions are fully documented. Also some other things but no listing of the functionObjects is yet present. This readable version is linked from the swak-page on the Wiki http://sourceforge.net/p/openfoam-ex...amReference.md
linch and sourav90 like this.
