Class
Foam::functionObjects::fieldStatistics
Group
grpFieldFunctionObjects
Description
Calculates various statistics of the specified fields.
Operands:
\table
Operand | Type | Location
input | vol\Field(s) | Registry
output file | dat | \/postProcessing/\/\/\
output field | - | -
\endtable
where \c \=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor.
Usage
Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
\verbatim
fieldStatistics1
{
// Mandatory entries
type fieldStatistics;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
fields ();
statistics ();
// Optional entries
mode ;
mean ;
extrema ;
internal ;
// Inherited entries
...
}
\endverbatim
where the entries mean:
\table
Property | Description | Type | Reqd | Deflt
type | Type name: fieldStatistics | word | yes | -
libs | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word | yes | -
fields | List of operand fields | wordList | yes | -
statistics | List of operand statistics | wordList | yes | -
mode | Output format of the statistical results | word | no | magnitude
mean | Type of the mean operation | word | no | arithmetic
internal | Flag to use internal fields only in computing statistics | bool | no | false
extrema | Flag to enable extrema data calculations | bool | no | false
\endtable
Available statistics of the operand field through the \c statistics entry:
\verbatim
min | Minimum value
max | Maximum value
mean | Arithmetic mean value (optionally volume-weighted)
variance | Sample variance value (unbiased)
\endverbatim
Options for the \c mode entry:
\verbatim
magnitude | Output statistics magnitude-wise
component | Output statistics separately for each component
\endverbatim
Options for the \c mean entry:
\verbatim
arithmetic | Arithmetic mean (average)
volumetric | Volume-weighted arithmetic mean
\endverbatim
The inherited entries are elaborated in:
- \link functionObject.H \endlink
- \link writeFile.H \endlink
