I am wondering whether anyone has some suggestions on the utilities/functions that I could use? I don't think that I can use any paraFoam utilities because I only ask the model to output at 5Hz while the time-step in the model is way smaller. It seems that there is a utility called particleTracks built in OpenFOAM, but I could determine whether it can solve my problem. Any insight on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Best, Jinshi
