This seems to be useful

- the utility createTurbulenceFields only works for RAS computations
- there is no standard utility to average fields after computation has been done (to get U-mean, U-rms, R-Mean, Reff-Mean ...)

So I worked on these utilities and after mentioning it in some posts I got replies and private messages asking me if I could publish

Great example of profit from the Openfoam

foamCalc components U

Then you can run patchAverage on each component:

Code:

patchAverage Ux myInlet

You can also use foamCalc to do other things like calculate the magnitude of a volVectorField:

Code:

foamCalc mag U

Installation of OpenFOAM 2.3.0 / 2.3.x on RHEL 5.8 without root permissions

Posted July 7, 2017 at 04:08 by kindle
Updated July 10, 2017 at 04:55 by kindle (add the right way to check the interior mesh)

Take a look at the paraview setting.

Here is a page saying that to check the mesh inside a geometry (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FAQ/Postprocessing). The right thing to do is not the clip nor the slice. But
1. load the case unchecking polyhedral decomposition
2. filter : Extract Cells by Region

Plot over line without interpolation

Posted May 10, 2017 at 13:49 by kindle
Updated May 10, 2017 at 14:19 by kindle (cannot find "Use Data Array" for plotting with coordinates value in some version of paraview)

Follow the steps as the following post :
1. Create two "Slice"
2. "Plot Data"
3. In tab Display choose "Cell Data" (when using "plot over line", should you choose this option from defaut "Point Data", the lines will disppear). Here you can choose between "Cell Data" and "Point Data". The former will give more sharp curves as the latter does have some interpolation.

Well, after this post. There is...
