Detailed Description

Calculates and writes out the time taken for a particle to travel from an inlet to the location. Solves the following equation when incompressible:

$\div (\phi t) = 1$

where:

	=	Age [s]
$\phi$	=	Volumetric flux [m^3/s]

Boundary conditions are generated automatically as zeroGradient on all walls and inletOutlet everywhere else.

Usage

Property	Description	Required	Default value
`phi`	The name of the flux field	no	phi
`rho`	The name of the density field	no	rho
`nCorr`	The maximum number of correctors	no	5
`schemesField`	The name of the field from which schemes are taken	no	age
`diffusion`	Switch to turn on/off the diffusion term	no	off
`tolerance`	Solver residual control	no	1e-5
