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 number of correctors	no	0
`schemesField`	The name of the field from which schemes are taken	no	age
