Hi Foamers,

I am running a simulation using reactingParcelFoam and I have several concerns regarding the lagrangian phase post-processing. I am able to export, using paraview, the cloudProperties (hence diamter, velocity) at the saved timeStep. Anyway I need this information at every single timeStep and my idea is to do something similar as probes in controlDict using cloudInfo.

Code:

In controlDict this should be defined as

functions

{

    cloudInfo1

    {

        type            cloudInfo;

        functionObjectLibs ("libcloudFunctionObjects.so");

        enabled         true;

        outputControl   timeStep;

        outputInterval  1;



        clouds          (reactingCloud1);

}

    }

with this I save at every timeStep the information defined in the cloudInfo.C:

Code:

void Foam::functionObjects::cloudInfo::writeFileHeader(const label i)

{

    writeHeader(file(), "Cloud information");

    writeCommented(file(), "Time");

    writeTabbed(file(), "nParcels");

    writeTabbed(file(), "mass");

    file() << endl;

}

For instance, if I would like to add the diamter and velocity. How should I modify this file?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Alessandro
