Hi,

with "flowRatePatch" postprocess function you can calculate the volumetric or mass flow rate through a patch, reading the phi scalarfield. I want to calculate the flowrate of a concentration (scalarfield T).

There is a postprocess function to calcolate the flowrate of phi*T?

or there is a way to multiply these 2 fields? the problem is that T has 1 value per cell, phi has 1 value per face so it has to be a openfoam function that associate cell T value with phi value of cell faces

Thanks
