Extract angular velocity, momentum & wake properties
 
Hi! I'm new to openFoam & I'm beginning to learn programming in C++.

I have a simulation of a wind turbine inmersed in a flow where the wind moves the turbine so I have variable angular velocity & wake properties.
I use the sixDoFRigidBodyMotion in the DynamicMeshDict and when the simulation runs it writes the angular velocity and angular momentum computed.

My question is, How do I extract the angular velocity so that the program writes it? And my other question is, How can I extract the wake properties? Or do I have to do it in Paraview?

Greetings to all

Hi,

I never used, but maybe does already what you need without extra programming. Or at least serves as a good starting point.


Best,
