AreaWeightedAverage during runTime

ZeinabM · July 5, 2023, 08:46

Hello,
I am developing a new solver and I would like to calculate the volumeAverage of the temperature in the runtime to use it afterwards. Is there any ready-made function or should I use the formula of calculating the volumeAverage?

Hello,

It sounds like the volFieldValue function object would do the job:

OpenCFD branch (openfoam.com): https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...ieldValue.html
Foundation branch (openfoam.org): https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...olFieldValue.H

Hope this helps,
Yann
