Class Foam::functionObjects::layerAverage Description This function object writes graphs of cell values, volume-averaged in the layers of cells in the mesh. The layers are defined by a set of patches or zones. Between these patches and/or zones the mesh must be perfectly layered; i.e., every cell must be a prism for which the base polygon is topologically similar to the corresponding face on the patch or zone. If the mesh is not layered in this way, then consider using the \c cutLayerAverage function instead. Patches can be used to define the start of the layers and hence the beginning of the graph. E.g.: \verbatim Patch <--|| 1 | 2 | 3 | ... ||---------+---------+---------+---- <--|| 1 | 2 | 3 | ... ||---------+---------+---------+---- <--|| 1 | 2 | 3 | ... \endverbatim Zones can define either the start or the end of the layers, depending on the zones' orientations. Layers will be enumerated in the same way as for a patch; i.e., they will number outwards in a direction opposite to the zone's normal direction. If two zones (or a zone and a patch) overlap then the one in front (relative to the zones' orientations) defines the start of the layers and the one behind defines the end of the layers. If two zones overlap and have opposing orientations then an error will be generated. \verbatim Zone A Zone B ... | <--|| 1 | 2 | 3 <--|| | ... ----+-------||---------+---------+---------||-------+---- ... | <--|| 1 | 2 | 3 <--|| | ... ----+-------||---------+---------+---------||-------+---- ... | <--|| 1 | 2 | 3 <--|| | ... \endverbatim Example of function object specification: \verbatim layerAverage1 { type layerAverage; libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so"); writeControl writeTime; setFormat raw; patches (bottom); zones (quarterPlane threeQuartersPlane); axis y; symmetric true; fields (pMean pPrime2Mean UMean UPrime2Mean k); } \endverbatim Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value type | Type name: layerAverage | yes | setFormat | Output plotting format | yes | patch | Patch that layers extrude from | no | patches | Patches that layers extrude from | no | () zones | Face zones that the layers extrude from | no | () axis | Component of the position to plot against | yes | symmetric | Is the geometry symmetric around the centre layer? \\ | no | false fields | Fields to average and plot | yes | weightField | Field with which to weight the average | no | none weightFields | Fields with which to weight the average | no | () \endtable See also Foam::functionObjects::cutLayerAverage SourceFiles layerAverage.C layerAverageTemplates.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef layerAverage_H #define layerAverage_H #include "fvMeshFunctionObject.H" #include "setWriter.H" #include "boolList.H" #include "volFields.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { namespace functionObjects { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class layerAverage Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class layerAverage : public fvMeshFunctionObject { // Private Data //- Patches which form the start of the layers labelList patchIndices_; //- Zones which form the start of the layers labelList zoneIndices_; //- Is the case symmetric? bool symmetric_; //- The direction over which to plot the results coordSet::axisType axis_; //- Per cell the global layer label nLayers_; //- Per cell the global layer labelList cellLayer_; //- Per global layer the volume scalarField layerVolume_; //- The average centre of each layer pointField layerCentre_; //- Fields to average wordList fields_; //- Fields with which to weight the averages wordList weightFields_; //- Set formatter autoPtr formatter_; // Private Member Functions //- Create the layer information, the sort map, and the scalar axis void calcLayers(); //- Calculate and return the weight field, or a null pointer if there // are no weight fields tmp> weight() const; //- Return the coefficient to multiply onto symmetric values template T symmetricCoeff() const; //- Sum field per layer template tmp> sum(const VolInternalField& cellField) const; //- Average a field per layer template tmp> average ( const tmp>& cellWeight, const tmp>& layerWeight, const VolInternalField& cellField ) const; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("layerAverage"); // Constructors //- Construct from Time and dictionary layerAverage ( const word& name, const Time& runTime, const dictionary& dict ); //- Disallow default bitwise copy construction layerAverage(const layerAverage&) = delete; //- Destructor virtual ~layerAverage(); // 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 graphs 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 layerAverage&) = delete; }; template<> vector layerAverage::symmetricCoeff() const; template<> symmTensor layerAverage::symmetricCoeff() const; template<> tensor layerAverage::symmetricCoeff() const; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace functionObjects } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #ifdef NoRepository #include "layerAverageTemplates.C" #endif // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
