Distance function

Dear OpenFoam users,

I have a simple (but a bit confusing me

) purpose to study different approaches for wall distance computations, typically used in turbulence computations, but I have no idea where in Openfoam I have to start to compute or plot it.

Can it be computed without running RANS or LES model?

As far as I know there are three options to compute the wall distance in OpenFoam: using meshWave, Poisson or Eikonal euqation. The later one is of my interest.

Could anyone guide me with this please?

Thanks,
Dmitry

Yes, it is called DNS.

Well, sure, but seriously speaking I need to test the wall distance without running any NS solver.
