Hi everyone,

I was trying to get the yPlus field in the backwardFacingStep2D tutotial on OpenFOAM. I modified the controlDict and add in "functions" this part:
yPlus
{
type yPlus;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
patches (fixedWall);
writeControl timeStep;
writeInterval 100;
writeToFile true;
timeStart 0;
timeEnd 2000;
executeControl timeStep;
executeInterval 1;
}
Then i run
simpleFoam -postProcess -func yPlus
but i have only the min, max and average value for each times step.
My question is: How can i get, in a specific time step, a file with the values of yPlus along (for example) the bottom wall?

Thanks in advance,
Bartholomew

the first one (in controlDict) should produce yPlus field at a given writeInterval. didn't you get it?

Hi,

thank you for your reply. Yes it does. I resolved today the problem: in order to plot the value of y+ along the x-direction i had to take columns from the respective files in the timeInterval (Cx and yPlus) and put them in a common .dat file. I think this is the easiest way to do it.

Hi,
- try to use `patchEdge` sampledSet for sampling yPlus on patches, if necessary?
- maybe using `nearWallFields` function object could also be interesting?
at least you have solved the main problem - which is good

Hi Bartolomeo,
I have done the procedure that you have written in controlDict functions. But I got core dump error. Do you have any idea?
