Summary0000718: meanFieldName in fieldAverage functionObject
DescriptionIn LES simulations, one sometimes wants to average components in time. The fieldAverage functionObject is able to do so. Also as far as I know the averaging window can be controlled by the resetOnOutput boolean in the functionObject.

In some cases, one may want to have two dissimilar windows, in order to average over longer and shorter periods.

The fieldAverage functionObject, to my knowledge, does not provide this functionality, as the output filename automatically appends "Mean"

const Foam::word Foam::fieldAverage::EXT_MEAN = "Mean";

So for two functions defined in controlDict, both will be output to UMean, likely to have unwanted behavior.

My feature request would be to add an optional entry in the fieldName subDict to provide a custom extension, such that two different averaging windows can be used.
TagsNo tags attached.
