Hi FOAMer! I am using LES to simulate the scalar mixing in wall-bounded turbulent flow. The LES could calculate the transient velocity field U and scalar field s. With the fieldAverage function, the time-averaged value UMean and sMean could also be obtained.
Now I want to output the time-avearged flux and fluctuation flux of scalar, namely the <Us> and <U's'>, which requires to calculate the expression U*s and (U-UMean)*(s-sMean) and pass the result to fieldAverage function.
After searching through the forum, maybe the easiest way is to impose coded functionObject in controlDict file. I adapt the code in thread
HTML Code:

to my case, but the simulation aborted in the middle of the process and the error shows:

new cannot satisfy memory request.
This does not necessarily mean you have run out of virtual memory.
It could be due to a stack violation caused by e.g. bad use of pointers or an out of date shared library
BTW, I use the parallel computation on HPC.
Does anyone know the way to handle this, or any other workaround?

For quick reference, I post the adapted code below, in which the flux1 represents the product of U and s.
Code:
fluctuation_flux1
	{
		type			coded;
		libs			("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
		enabled		true;
		timeStart		74;
		timeEnd		200;
		writeControl	adjustableRunTime;
		writeInterval	200;
		name		fluctuation_flux1;
		
		codeExecute
		#{
			const volVectorField& U = 
                        mesh().lookupObject<volVectorField>("U");		
			const volScalarField& s = 
                        mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("s");		
			
			obr_.store
			(
				new	volVectorField	
				(
					IOobject
					(
						"flux1",
						obr_.time().timeName(),
						obr_,
						IOobject::NO_READ,
						IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
					),
					U*s
				)
			);
			const volVectorField& flux1 = 
                        obr_.lookupObject<volVectorField>("flux1");
		#};
	}
Also the fieldAverage function to average the flux1 in time:
Code:
fieldAverage1
    {
      type                        fieldAverage;
      functionObjectLibs   ( "libfieldFunctionObjects.so" );
      resetOnRestart         true;
      resetOnOutput         false;
      startTime                75; 		
      endTime                 200; 		
      writeControl            adjustableRunTime;
      writeInterval           200;
      
      fields
      (
            flux1
           {
            mean              on;
            prime2Mean    on;
            base               time;	  
           }
      ); 
    }
