Description

The surfaceInterpolate function object linearly interpolates volume fields to generate surface fields.

Operands

Operand Type Location
input vol<Type>Field $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
output file - -
output field surface<Type>Field $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>

where <Type>=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor.

Usage

Example of the surfaceInterpolate function object by using functions sub-dictionary in system/controlDict file:

surfaceInterpolate1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type            surfaceInterpolate;
    libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

    // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
    fields      ((<inpField1> <outField1>) ... (<inpFieldN> <outFieldN>));

    // Optional (inherited) entries
    region          region0;
    enabled         true;
    log             true;
    timeStart       0;
    timeEnd         1000;
    executeControl  timeStep;
    executeInterval 1;
    writeControl    timeStep;
    writeInterval   1;
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: surfaceInterpolate word yes -
libs Library name: fieldFunctionObjects word yes -
fields Names of operand and output fields wordList yes -

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

Usage by the postProcess utility is not available.
