Detailed Description

Calculates and writes out integral (integer moments) or mean properties (mean, variance, standard deviation) of a size distribution determined by a population balance model. Requires solver post-processing.

The following function object specification for example returns the first moment of the volume-based number density function which is equivalent to the phase fraction of the particulate phase:

populationBalanceMoments
{
    type                populationBalanceMoments;
    libs                ("libmultiphaseEulerFoamFunctionObjects.so");
    executeControl      timeStep;
    writeControl        writeTime;
    populationBalance   bubbles;
    momentType          integerMoment;
    coordinateType      volume;
    order               1;
}
Usage
Property Description Required Default
populationBalance population balance name yes
momentType desired moment of the distribution yes
coordinateType particle property yes
weightType number/volume/area concentration no numberConcentration
order order of integer moment for integer moments
meanType arithmetic or geometric for non-integer moments arithmetic
