rhoCentralFoam: no phi-field written

Endel · April 23, 2014, 04:47

Hello everyone,

this might be a trivial question but I appreciate any hint to the solution:

I mainly used sonicFoam for my cases, which always provided a phi field for every timestep, which I use to calculate the flow through specific patches. When I use rhoCentralFoam instead, no phi field is written in the time step-folders. I suspect, that it is quite easy to get the phi field but I just don't know how. Do I have to add a certain line to a file in my case, that I am missing?

Thank you very much for your help,
best,
Endel
