freefoam-flowType1

Calculates and writes the flowtype of velocity field u.

Usage

freefoam flowType [-help] [-latestTime] [-noZero] [-constant] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-time <time>] [-dict <dictionary name>] [-parallel] [-case <dir>]

Overview

The -noWrite option has no meaning.

The flow type parameter is obtained according to the following equation:

             |D| - |Omega|
    lambda = -------------
             |D| + |Omega|
    -1 = rotational flow
     0 = simple shear flow
     1 = planar extensional flow

Options

-dict <dictionary name>

Use named dictionary instead of system/controlDict.

-noZero

-constant

-time <time>
