This object calculates a field of the age of fluid in the domain; i.e.,
the time taken for a fluid particle to travel to a location from an
inlet. It outputs a field, named age, with dimensions of time, and
requires a solver and a div(phi,age) scheme to be specified. A number of
corrections for the solution procedure can be set, as well as the name
of the flux and density fields.
Example specification:
age1
{
type age;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
nCorr 10;
phi phi;
rho rho;
}
Example usage:
postProcess -func age -fields "(phi)" -latestTime
