skuznet Member Sergey Join Date: Nov 2013 Posts: 87 Rep Power: 12	Hello! Is any simple way in OpenFoam of in Paraview to calculate integrated quantities, such as surface average of temperature? I'm trying to simulate conjugate heat transfer in a fin and would like to calculate heat transfer coefficient. Thank you!
