Hello,
I have started using OpenFOAM's AMR feature recently. Although I am a total newbie, so far, I am able to use dynamicRefineFvMesh with pimpleDyMFoam. My understanding is that one can set a field (say, pressure) as the reference for refinement and also set a value interval for that field variable to do refinements on.
The first thing I know about ARM is that the refinement should be done on regions where the gradient of a varible is the highest, instead of the value itself of that variable. That being said, I am looking for a way to set the gradient of a field variable as the refinement parameter. Can I do that with a direct input such as:

field grad(p);

in dynamicMeshDict, or should I create a new field variable which would yield the pressure gradient magnitude first? If so, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Hüseyin
