Class
    Foam::functionObjects::fieldAverage

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Calculates average quantities for a user-specified selection of volumetric
    and surface fields.

    Fields are entered as a list of sub-dictionaries, which indicate the type of
    averages to perform, and can be updated during the calculation.  The current
    options include:
    - \c mean: arithmetic mean
    - \c prime2Mean: prime-squared mean
    - \c base: average over 'time', or 'iteration'
    - \c window: optional averaging window, specified in 'base' units

    Average field names are constructed by concatenating the base field with
    the averaging type, e.g. when averaging field 'U', the resultant fields
    are:
    - arithmetic mean field, \c UMean
    - prime-squared field, \c UPrime2Mean

    Information regarding the number of averaging steps, and total averaging
    time are written on a per-field basis to the \c "<functionObject
    name>Properties" dictionary, located in <time>/uniform

    When restarting form a previous calculation, the averaging is continuous or
    may be restarted using the \c restartOnRestart option.

    The averaging process may be restarted after each calculation output time
    using the \c restartOnOutput option or restarted periodically using the \c
    periodicRestart option and setting \c restartPeriod to the required
    averaging period.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    fieldAverage1
    {
        type                fieldAverage;
        libs                ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        writeControl    writeTime;

        restartOnRestart    false;
        restartOnOutput     false;
        periodicRestart     false;
        restartPeriod       0.002;

        fields
        (
            U
            {
                mean            on;
                prime2Mean      on;
                base            time;
                window          10.0;
                windowName      w1;
            }
            p
            {
                mean            on;
                prime2Mean      on;
                base            time;
            }
        );
    }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property          | Description               | Required | Default
        type              | type name: fieldAverage              | yes |
        restartOnRestart  | Restart the averaging on restart     | no  | no
        restartOnOutput   | Restart the averaging on output      | no  | no
        periodicRestart   | Periodically restart the averaging   | no  | no
        restartPeriod     | Periodic restart period              | conditional |
        fields            | list of fields and averaging options | yes |
    \endtable


Note
    To employ the \c prime2Mean option, the \c mean option must be selecetd.
