Detailed Description

Creates a size distribution via interrogating a continuous phase fraction field.

Looks up a phase-fraction (alpha) field and splits the mesh into regions based on where the field is below the threshold value. These regions ("droplets") can now be analysed.

Regions:

print the regions connected to a user-defined set of patches. (in spray calculation these form the liquid core)
print the regions with too large volume. These are the 'background' regions.
(debug) write regions as a volScalarField
(debug) print for all regions the sum of volume and alpha*volume

Output (volume scalar) fields include:

alpha_liquidCore : alpha with outside liquid core set to 0
alpha_background : alpha with outside background set to 0.

Histogram:

determine histogram of diameter (given minDiameter, maxDiameter, nBins)
write graph of number of droplets per bin
write graph of sum, average and deviation of droplet volume per bin
write graph of sum, average and deviation of user-defined fields. For volVectorFields these are those of the 3 components and the magnitude.

Example of function object specification:

regionSizeDistribution1
{
    type            regionSizeDistribution;
    libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
    ...
    alpha           alpha;
    patches         (inlet);
    threshold       0.4;
    fields          (p U);
    nBins           100;
    maxDiameter     0.5e-4;
    minDiameter     0;
    setFormat       gnuplot;
}
