Summary0002859: Calculation of average agglomerate temperature in viewFactor.C shoul incorporate power 4 weighting
DescriptionFor the calculation of the average emission per patch agglomerate the temperature is area average over the agglomerate (line 459 in viewFactor.C) in all OF versions up to 5.0. In order to give the right emission values and to conserve the enegy balance it would be bette to incorporate weighting of T^4.
Thus, line 459 should read
    Tave[coarseI] += ((pow(Tp[facei],4.0)*sf[facei])/area;
and after the loop (after line 462) the forth root should be taken:
    Tave[coarceI] = pow(Tave[coarseI],0.25);

Isn't this already fixed?

Ok, I'm sorry. I only checked up to OF5.0 and did not check the dev-version. In OpenFOAM-dev it is incorporated.

This was already fixed in OpenFOAM-dev and I have made the same change co OpenFOAM-5.x.
