Averages columns of cells for layered meshes.
For each patch face, calculates the average value of all cells attached in
the patch face normal direction, and then pushes the average value back
to all cells in the column.
Useful for channel-like cases where we want to average fields in the
spanwise direction.
Example of function object specification:
columnAverage1
{
type columnAverage;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
...
patches (front side);
fields (U p);
}
Where the entries comprise:
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | type name: fieldMinMax | yes |
patches | list of patches to collapse onto | yes |
fields | list of fields to process | yes |
\endtable
