Hi again. I wish to use OpenFOAM to calculate velocity magnitudes in the flow field with respect to time however I have only been able to code for the two respective points below to resolve the u, v and w components which I would rather not have to post-process. I think that the magnitudes need to be calculated and then magU used but I haven't seen this explicitly coded elsewhere on some google searches. Any help would be appreciated, if I haven't explained myself clearly enough then let me know!

Thanks.


Code:
 FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "system";
    object      controlDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

application     icoFoam;

startFrom       startTime;

startTime       0;

stopAt          endTime;

endTime         0.02;

deltaT          0.0001;

writeControl    timeStep;

writeInterval   10;

purgeWrite      0;

writeFormat     ascii;

writePrecision  12;

writeCompression uncompressed;

timeFormat      general;

timePrecision   12;

runTimeModifiable yes;

libs ( "libOpenFOAM.so" "libgroovyBC.so" ) ;

functions
{
	probes
	{
		type			probes;
		functionObjectLibs 	("libsampling.so");
		enabled 		true;
		outputControl		timeStep;
		outputInterval 		10;
		probeLocations
		(
			( 1 10 0.5 )
			( 2 2  0.5 )
		);
	fields
		(
		U
		);
	}
}
