This function object writes graphs of patch face values, area-averaged in
planes perpendicular to a given direction. It adaptively grades the
distribution of graph points to match the resolution of the mesh.
Example of function object specification:
patchCutLayerAverage1
{
type patchCutLayerAverage;
libs ("libpatchCutLayerAverageFunctionObject.so");
writeControl writeTime;
writeInterval 1;
patch lowerWall;
direction (1 0 0);
nPoints 100;
interpolate no;
fields (p U);
axis x;
setFormat raw;
}
A packaged function object is also included, which permits the following
syntax to be used, either with #includeFunc in the system/controlDict,
or with the -func option to foamPostProcess:
graphPatchCutLayerAverage
(
funcName=aerofoilLowerPressure,
patch=aerofoilLower,
direction=(0.15 -0.016 0),
nPoints=100,
p
)

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.
