how to calculate water average velocity in free surface models

If the channel bed is a wall then you can check y+ on it.

Hi,

On a similar note, how can one generate maps of depth-averaged velocity in ParaView?
I am post-processing a VOF simulation (air/water) done in interFOAM.
What I am looking for is a 2D map of depth-averaged quantities such as velocity in the entire domain. Just integrating/averaging over a vertical line won't work (I need this done in the entire domain).

Thanks

No idea. Try a Paraview forum. This is the CFX forum.
