Not sure how to use "probes" utility in OpenFOAM..?

any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks much

Hi,

You should include some code at the end of your controlDict, like this:

functions
{
probes1
{
type probes;

functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");

region region0;

probeLocations
(
(1.3e-2 0 0)
);

fields
(
U
);

outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 100;
}
}


This particular example will give you the velocity (all three components) in the point (1.3e-2 0 0). It writes to a file probes1/0/U every 100 time steps.

You should also be able to probe multiple points, to probe multiple variables, and to use different write controls. This is all explained elsewhere on this forum (use the search function), in the OpenFOAM wiki (use google), etc.

Good luck,
Sita
