The exprField
function object creates or modifies a field based on an
expression.
Usage🔗
The exprField
function object is specified using:
exprField1
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
...
field <field-name>;
expression <expr>; // new and modify actions only
// Optional entries
action <action-type>;
readFields <bool>;
fieldMask <mask-expr>; // modify action only
autowrite <bool>; // default: false;
store <bool>; // default: true
dimensions <dimensions>;
}
Actions
-
none
: no-op -
new
: create a new field - default -
modify
: modify an existing field
Examples🔗
Create a new pTotal
field based on an expressions for
exprField1
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
field pTotal;
expression "p + 0.5*(rho*magSqr(U))";
dimensions [ Pa ];
}
Modify the existing pTotal
field by setting the static pressure using the p
field in the region defined by
and
\[x_y > 0\]exprField
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
field pTotal;
action modify;
// Static pressure only in these regions
fieldMask "(mag(pos()) < 0.05) && (pos().y() > 0)";
expression "p";
}
