Problem with patchAverage
 

Hello everyone. I'm having some troubles with the patchAverage postProcess utility (postProcess -func 'patchAverage(name= patch,field)' -latestTime). I post process the same case in two different computers with different versions of OpenFOAM (v6 and v5.0) and get different results. Does anybody know if they change something? I attach the picture with the values.




Thanks all

You are using two different functions - left is area weighted average, right is regular average.

Hello Anton, thank you for your reply.

Even i using the same function in both situations? I used the same code line (postProcess -func 'patchAverage(name=placa,grad(T))' -latestTime) . OpenFOAM does not have a function for each kind of average ? :D


Thank you !

You are not using the same function in both situations. The default behavior was deliberately changed in OF6. See https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2936

Thanks Anton, did you know how to perform areaAverage in OF6 ? The command line.

Thank you again !

I figured out! Just change the operation in the patchAverage file in ../caseDict/postProcessing/surfaceFieldValue/. This was in the bug report that you send me! :D



Thank you again Anton!
