How to calculate a time average

spwater · February 23, 2010, 13:20

I know there is some function I can put in the controlDict, however now I am facing some special problem, that I need to calculate the time average data by existed data, e.g folder of time:"0, 10, 20, 30", and I want to calculate an average based on them. Any suggestion or hint will be great appreciated.

Thank you

Pei

Hi Pei

You could start off with the utility pPrime2 and see where it gets you. It is placed here:

OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5.x/applications/utilities/postProcessing/scalarField/pPrime2

Best regards,

Niels

Did you tried any postprocessing utility like Paraview or Tecplot?
