Class
Foam::functionObjects::streamLine
Group
grpFieldFunctionObjects
Description
Generates streamline data by sampling a set of user-specified fields along a
particle track, transported by a user-specified velocity field.
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
streamLine1
{
type streamLine;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
writeControl writeTime;
setFormat vtk;
U U;
trackForward yes;
fields
(
U
p
);
lifeTime 10000;
trackLength 1e-3;
nSubCycle 5;
cloudName particleTracks;
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
start (-0.0205 0.0001 0.00001);
end (-0.0205 0.0005 0.00001);
nPoints 100;
}
}
\endverbatim
Usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | Type name: streamLine | yes |
setFormat | Output data type | yes |
U | Tracking velocity field name | no | U
fields | Fields to sample | yes |
lifetime | Maximum number of particle tracking steps | yes |
trackLength | Tracking segment length | no |
nSubCycle | Number of tracking steps per cell | no|
cloudName | Cloud name to use | yes |
seedSampleSet| Seeding method (see below)| yes |
\endtable
Where \c seedSampleSet \c type is typically one of
\plaintable
uniform | uniform particle seeding
cloud | cloud of points
triSurfaceMeshPointSet | points according to a tri-surface mesh
\endplaintable
Note
When specifying the track resolution, the \c trackLength OR \c nSubCycle
option should be used
