Probes definitions are used to compute a scalar value from the solution. It only currently can compute a user-defined quantity from internal cells at each end of cycle.
Probes are defined in main.rpm
with the following syntax [1] :
BLOCK:PROBE
NAME = m_probe_name
TYPE = VOL_MIN | VOL_MAX | VOL_AVERAGE
QUANTITY = <symbolic function>
ENDBLOCK
In the symbolic function, allowed variables are
- X, Y, Z
- RHO, PS, V (magnitude), V_X, V_Y, V_Z for Navier-Stokes solver
- TS (temperature) for Heat transfer solver
Each output is written in m_probe_name.tmon
file.
