Hello,

I searched the forum but I didn't found a solution for my problem. I have a 3d cylinder case, with periodic boundaries in spanwise direction. For postprocessing, in detail for comparing my solution to a certain paper, I need some mean-velocity profiles of the wake. I use the sample utility to get horizontal lines (y-coordinate) at different downstream positions (x-coordinate), this works fine. But I want to average, or collapse the mean velocity field in spanwise direction (periodic z-coordinate) first, before I extract the profiles. Is there a tool available which averages a field for a given spatial direction? I have read something about patchAverage, but I dont want to average a patch. After averaging it would be great to use sample for getting the profiles. So may be somebody experienced the same problem and found a solution?

thx,
fabian
