Description
Evaluates and writes the turbulence intensity field 'I'.
The turbulence intensity field 'I' is the root-mean-square of the turbulent
velocity fluctuations normalised by the local velocity magnitude:
\f[
I \equiv \frac{\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}\, k}}{U}
\f]
To avoid spurious extrema and division by 0 I is limited to 1 where the
velocity magnitude is less than the turbulent velocity fluctuations.
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
functions
{
.
.
.
turbulenceIntensity
{
type turbulenceIntensity;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
}
.
.
.
}
\endverbatim
or using the standard configuration file:
\verbatim
functions
{
.
.
.
#includeFunc turbulenceIntensity
.
.
.
}
\endverbatim
OpenFOAM Configuration
The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:
settings: core settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: application settings for compiling against metis 5
The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:
compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settingsopenmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAMparaview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSIONprefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
