Average velocity in volume

gooya_kabir · October 21, 2013, 11:03

Hi FOAMers,

I calculated the velocity for flow inside a cube, now I want to calculate the average velocity of fluid (single phase) in this cube (volume), How can I do that in ParaFOAM? It seems simple but I could not calculate that

Thank you for your comments.
Kind Regards

You might want to try the foamCalcEx utility: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib_foamCalcEx

This allows the calculation you want from the command line directly.

That is the exact thing which I need.

So I am new to openfoam and I found the funkyDoCalc utility helpful, the problem is that funkyDoCalc does not record the result... Any suggestions??
