please help me understand the output of wallShearStress
 

Hello,

I'm very new to openfoam and developing some post-processing / sampling functionality for my cases.

Things are working out well, but I was wondering if you guys could help me understand the output of the wallShearStress function

currently, I am running it like:

and it outputs something that looks like this:

Attachment 77147

granted the results aren't very interesting, I'm just trying to get the functionality down for when I need it.

Can someone help me understand what the actually output is, and units? Assuming Pa?

I tried to look in the documentation/api docs but I'm getting a 404 error on some webpages and can't seem to find the output description anywhere?

What exactly are these numbers :) ?

Also, if anyone can tell me how to only calculate wallShearStress on a specific patch, that'd be great...currently when I do something like:

it just says:


at some point I will want to only sample a specific patch...how can I do this??
