Hello Guys,

Does anybody know the meaning of "prime2Mean" option that's specified when we want to calculate average of the a field. Please look the following code. Thank you very much!

Code:

functions
{
    fieldAverage1
    {
        type            fieldAverage;
        libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        writeControl    writeTime;

        fields
        (
            U
            {
                mean        on;
                prime2Mean  on;
                base        time;
            }
        );
    }
}

Hi, is it the RMS of the velocity?
