Following the addition of the new moments functionObject, all related
functionality was removed from sizeDistribution.
In its revised version, sizeDistribution allows for different kinds of
weighted region averaging in case of field-dependent representative
particle properties.
A packaged function has also been added to allow for command line solver
post-processing.
For example, the following function object specification returns the
volume-based number density function:
numberDensity
{
type sizeDistribution;
libs ("libmultiphaseEulerFoamFunctionObjects.so");
writeControl writeTime;
populationBalance bubbles;
functionType numberDensity;
coordinateType volume;
setFormat raw;
}
The same can be achieved using a packaged function:
#includeFunc sizeDistribution
(
populationBalance=bubbles,
functionType=numberDensity,
coordinateType=volume,
funcName=numberDensity
)
Or on the command line:
multiphaseEulerFoam -postProcess -func "
sizeDistribution
(
populationBalance=bubbles,
functionType=numberDensity,
coordinateType=volume,
funcName=numberDensity
)"

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
