Computes the arithmetic average of given quantities along columns of cells in a given direction for structured-like layered meshes. It is, for example, useful for channel-like cases where spanwise average of a field is desired. However, the columnAverage
function object does not operate on arbitrary unstructured meshes.

Computes the arithmetic average of given quantities along columns of cells in a given direction for structured-like layered meshes. It is, for example, useful for channel-like cases where spanwise average of a field is desired. However, the columnAverage
function object does not operate on arbitrary unstructured meshes.
For each patch face, calculates the average value of all cells attached in the patch face normal direction, and then pushes the average value back to all cells in the column.
Operands:
Operand | Type | Location |
---|---|---|
input | vol<Type>Field | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField> |
output file | - | - |
output field | vol<Type>Field | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField> |
