Yes, I think in your case CL would be best to use.

In addition, I believe sampling the history of instantaneous CL should work fine. Calculating a mean may not be beneficial to you at your...

I think taking a force coefficient approach (i.e. histories of CD or CL) is far more appropriate for your Reynolds number. In other words, instead of analyzing U', use an appropriate history of CD.

You can do it this way, or you can extract all of your U(t) values (instantaneous velocity) per probe and compute the average. The fieldAverage tool is probably 'better.'

No problem!

The simple answer is that you compute the frequency analysis per probe. Your analysis is a pointwise thing. Let's say you have probes at A= (1,1,1) and B= (2,2,2).

Probe A will...

Hi Ariel,

The latter is correct. Compute the mean velocity over the time series and compute U - UMean, where U is your individual instantaneous value. So, for every point in the domain you have...

Hi guys,

Based on my experience in sampling the wake to get the Strouhal number in OpenFOAM, the best way to do it is to compute the velocity spectra at certain points in the wake. I prefer to use...
