danielec87 New Member Join Date: Jul 2012 Posts: 14 Rep Power: 13	Hello, I am using OpenFoam to compute turbulent flows... I would like to calculate the turbulent shear stress, which is defined as u'v'=2nutSij*Sij where nut is the turbulent kinematic viscosity, while Sij is, by definition, the derivative of velocity (Sij=DUi/DXj). The question is: How to say how to calculate the derivatives of velocity to OpenFoam?? Or, by the way, how to calculate any other value I need, besides pressure and velocity... THANK YOU!
