CFD Online Discussion Forums - buoyantReactingFoam: writing the total radiative heat flux field

Hi

I'm running a simulation with buoyantReactingFoam (openfoam 9) using fvDOM as the radiation model.

I would like to print the total radiative heat flux qr at each write time.

qr is defined as:

Code:

qr_

    (

        IOobject

        (

            "qr",

            mesh_.time().timeName(),

            mesh_,

            IOobject::READ_IF_PRESENT,

            IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

        ),

        mesh_,

        dimensionedScalar(dimMass/pow3(dimTime), 0)

    ),

in fvDOM.c.

I tried to request writing it by defining the following function object in my controlDict:

Code:

functions

{

    writeQr

    {

        type writeObjects;

        functionObjectLibs ( "libutilityFunctionObjects.so" );

        objects ("qr");

        writeControl writeTime;

    }

}

However, when I run buoyantReactingFoam, I get:

Code:

--> FOAM Warning : writeObjects: object qr not found in database. Available objects:

How could I write qr?

Thanks so much
