Hello together,

I would like to visualize the mass of lagrangian particles that impignes the individual patch cell faces at the wall. Since it is possible to have the output of impinged mass over whole patches, with some implementation it should also be possible to calculate that for every single patch cell faces and visualize it afterwards in paraview.

Does anybody of you have an idea how to start doing that?

Thanks in advance and kind regards
Chrisi

Hi Chrisi,

I'm not 100% sure but the 'facePostProcessing' CloudFunctionObject looks like it might do the trick.

/src/largrangian/intermediate/submodels/CloudFunctionObjects/FacePostProcessing/

There should be some other examples of how similar cloud function objects are setup in the lagrangian tutorials.

cheers!
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

thanks a lot that works! I only need to generate a new faceZone from my patches and run the facePostProcessing CloudFunctionObject on that new face zone.

I am not that familiar with those CloudFunctionObject. Can you tell me how I can create new ones. As bases I would take that facePostProcessing. Which parts I have to compile new in my one librarys and how to link them correctly afterwards?

Kind regards
Chrisi

Hi Chrisi,

I think you can populate the cloudFunctions{} subdictionary which is at the bottom of the kinematicCloudProperties dictionary in most of the lagrangian tutorials.

Usually you could just start out with something like this:

cloudFunctions
{
    myCloudfunctionObject
    {
        type facePostProcessing;
    }
}

Once you start the simulation it will halt every time the FO runs since you're missing the rest of the inputs. You could then start filling them in one by one.

Alternatively you can inspect the constructor and dictionary readers in the FacePostProcessing.C source code (around lines 260) to get a better idea of the inputs its looking for.


I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Kyle
