OK, only after 6 months did I manage to find enough time to run some tests of my own on a stable machine (mine isn't as stable ).
The results are now available here: https://github.com/wyldckat/wyldckat...nce_Analysis_2

The summary results:

1. If no file is written, it doesn't matter if it's configured to write in "binary" or "ascii".
2. Example

How to use mapping fields function in openFOAM,

-say there are two different case two boxes, one big box and one small box with inlet on one side and outlet on the other side and all the other sides are walls. the small box is within the big box and it is in the right place in space.

-how do i even go about

can you confirm me that the function object below in ControlDict is the correct and fastest way to calculate average over cutting planes in a 3D simulation during runtime?
it seems to work but I'm not 100% sure about the results...

I see that you've got 2 reports on this topic:

• The original one: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1789
• The more recent one: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1790

If I understand you correctly, you want to do a plain average of the fields over the existing time snapshots?

In addition, do you mean that the average results for a dynamic mesh are acceptable for doing

To be more precise, i'm using the solver icoDyMFoam of OpenFOAM 1.4.1. The mesh is solved with the following options :

// ---------- dynamicMeshDict ---------
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
motionSolverLibs ("libfvMotionSolvers.so");
