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
