Spatial averages

The following inputs must be preceded by “mfix.” and control whether to compute spatial averages, and how often to output the results. n is the number of spatial averages implicitly defined by the size of avg_region_x_w.

Description

Default

avg_int

Interval, in number of CFD dt’s, to write output

avg_file

Base file name which is appended with the data type (vel_p, p_g, ep_g or vel_g), the number of this type of averaging, and the .csv file extension
