Hello Foamers,

This is my first time asking a question here, so please be patient with any mistakes.

System:
OpenFOAM 8
Ubuntu 20.04LTS

Problem-Statement:
I am trying to use multiphaseEulerFoam solver to solve a wall boiling problem.
The tutorials worked but I want more field information such as bubble diameter distribution, lift force distribution.
It seems that the solver does not write out there fields.
How can I write out these information?
thx!

I am also after the same thing did you manage to find anything?

I am also quite new to openfoam and so I don't have any experience doing this myself, but I think you need to make a new solver based on multiPhaseEulerfoam and make a new solver where you add new IOobjects.



Something roughly like:

 volScalarField bubbleDiameter
 
 (
 
     IOobject
 
     (
 
         "bubbleDiameter",
 
         runTime.timeName(),
 
         mesh,
 
         IOobject::NO_READ,
 
         IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
 
     ),
 
     mesh,
 
     dimensionedScalar(dimLength, zero)
 
 );

And then set it to the bubble diameter each iteration.



You can read how IOObjects work here.


You can look at the createFields.h files of different existing solvers to see how they did it.


Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for.
