Hello,

I am doing the post processing of lagrangian simulation, I want to apply available functionObjects in Openfoam which is fieldAverage to the diameter of my cloud sprayCloud (code below).

 functions
{
    fieldAverage1
    {
        type            fieldAverage;
        libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so" "liblagrangianFunctionObjects.so");
        writeControl    writeTime;
        log             yes;
        writeFields     no;
        clouds          (sprayCloud);
        fields
        (
            d
            {
                mean            on;
                prime2Mean      on;
                base            time;
            }
        );
    }
}

I am not getting any errors but also no results!

Is there a way to solve this issue?

Any hint will be appreciated

Hello

I have been facing the same problem. Did you find a solution? We can do the averaging by creating a script and then do post-processing but is there anyway way we can do it by making some changes in controlDict like we do for eukerian particles.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank You

Hello,

AFAK it's impossible to apply the available functions objects like max, min, mean... directly to the lagrangian cloud throught controlDict.The only ones that you can use in the controlDict are included in the folder src/functionObjects/lagrangian (ex.: cloudInfo, dsmcFields, icoUncoupledKinematicCloud).
Other available functions objects specific for te cloud included in folder src/lagrangian/intermediatesubmodels/cloudFunctionObjects can be used. They must be called in sprayCloudProperties (reactingCloudProperties... depending on which solver you are using) in the last dictionary called cloudFunctions. I inserted below an example of getting data from a patch.

cloudFunctions
{

patchPost1
{
type patchPostProcessing;
enabled true;
writeControl writeTime;
log yes;
clouds (sprayCloud);
maxStoredParcels 100000;
patches (name_of_your_patch);

}

}

I wish that I was clear in my explanation, feel free to ask again.
