Class Foam::functionObjects::streamlines Description Generates streamline data by sampling a set of user-specified fields along a particle track, transported by a user-specified velocity field. Example of function object specification: \verbatim streamlines1 { type streamlines; libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so"); writeControl writeTime; setFormat vtk; U U; direction both; fields ( U p ); lifeTime 10000; trackLength 1e-3; nSubCycle 5; seedSampleSet { type lineUniform; axis xyz; start (-0.0205 0.0001 0.00001); end (-0.0205 0.0005 0.00001); nPoints 100; } } \endverbatim Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value type | Type name: streamlines | yes | setFormat | Output data type | yes | U | Tracking velocity field name | no | U direction | Direction in which to track | yes | outside | Track outside of periodic meshes | no | no fields | Fields to sample | yes | writeTime | Write the flow time along the streamlines | no | no lifetime | Maximum number of particle tracking steps | yes | trackLength | Tracking segment length | no | nSubCycle | Number of tracking steps per cell | no | cloudName | Cloud name to use | no | seedSampleSet | Seeding method (see below) | yes | \endtable Where the \c seedSampleSet \c type is typically one of \plaintable lineUniform | uniform particle seeding along a line sphereRandom | random particle seeding within a sphere boundaryRandom | random particle seeding on a number of patches points | a specified set of locations \endplaintable Note: When specifying the track resolution, the \c trackLength OR \c nSubCycle option should be used See also Foam::functionObject Foam::functionObjects::timeControl Foam::sampledSet SourceFiles streamlines.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef streamlines_functionObject_H #define streamlines_functionObject_H #include "fvMeshFunctionObject.H" #include "setWriter.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { // Forward declaration of classes class sampledSet; namespace functionObjects { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class streamlines Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class streamlines : public fvMeshFunctionObject { public: // Public data types //- Track direction enumerations enum class trackDirection { forward, backward, both }; //- Track direction enumeration names static const NamedEnum trackDirectionNames_; private: // Private Data //- List of fields to sample wordList fields_; //- Field to transport particle with word UName_; //- Interpolation scheme to use word interpolationScheme_; //- The direction in which to track trackDirection trackDirection_; //- Whether or not to track outside of the mesh in periodic geometries Switch trackOutside_; //- Maximum lifetime (= number of cells) of particle label lifeTime_; //- Number of subcycling steps label nSubCycle_; //- Track length scalar trackLength_; //- Optional specified name of particles word cloudName_; //- Write the streamlines ages Switch writeAge_; //- Seed set engine autoPtr sampledSetPtr_; //- File writer autoPtr formatterPtr_; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("streamlines"); // Constructors //- Construct from Time and dictionary streamlines ( const word& name, const Time& runTime, const dictionary& dict ); //- Disallow default bitwise copy construction streamlines(const streamlines&) = delete; //- Destructor virtual ~streamlines(); // Member Functions //- Read the field average data virtual bool read(const dictionary&); //- Return the list of fields required virtual wordList fields() const; //- Do nothing virtual bool execute(); //- Calculate and write the streamlines virtual bool write(); //- Update for mesh point-motion virtual void movePoints(const polyMesh&); //- Update topology using the given map virtual void topoChange(const polyTopoChangeMap&); //- Update from another mesh using the given map virtual void mapMesh(const polyMeshMap&); //- Redistribute or update using the given distribution map virtual void distribute(const polyDistributionMap&); // Member Operators //- Disallow default bitwise assignment void operator=(const streamlines&) = delete; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace functionObjects } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
