Class
    Foam::functionObjects::particleDistribution
 
Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Generates a particle distribution for lagrangian data at a given time.
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type | Location
      input          | -    | -
      output file    | dat  | $FOAM_CASE/postProcessing/<FO>/<time>/<file>
      output field   | -    | -
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    particleDistribution1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        particleDistribution;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
        cloud       <cloudName>;
        nameVsBinWidth
        (
            (d 0.1)
            (U 10)
        );
        setFormat   raw;
 
        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        tagField    none;
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: particleDistribution    | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
      cloud        | Name of cloud to process           | word |  yes  | -
      nameVsBinWidth | List of cloud field-bin width | wordHashTable | yes | -
      setFormat      | Output format                 | word          |  yes  | -
      tagField | Name of cloud field to use group particles | word | no | none
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link writeFile.H \endlink
 
    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.
