Calculating bubble volume in rising bubble simulation

I'm performing a rising bubble simulation and I'd like to calculate the bubble volume at each writeInterval. I went through some threads and programming guides and came up with a rough code. However I'm not sure how to implement that. I tried creating a function object from a copy of 'vorticity' and changed things around, but the compiler doesn't recognize mesh and alpha1 within the code. Can someone guide in this regard?
Also is there a way I can have the bubble volume written out in a separate text file/csv with just two columns containing time and bubble volume instead of writing it out within the time directory at each writeInterval? Code:
scalar vol; scalar vol_tot_air = 0.0; scalar r_ori = 0.0007505; scalar h_ori = 0.001; scalar vol_ori = 3.14*r_ori*r_ori*h_ori; forAll(mesh.C(), celli) //Loop through all cells { if (alpha1[celli] > 0.5) { vol = alpha1[celli]*mesh.V()[celli]; } else { vol = 0; } vol_tot_air += vol; } scalar vol_final_air = 2*3.14*vol_tot_air; scalar vol_bubble = vol_final_air - vol_ori; |
