columeAverage

I am using openFoam version 1906 on ubuntu 14.06 operating system and i have tried to use one of the new functions (columnAverage) but it seems that something is wrong with it. I used it in order to perform a spatial average in the span-wise direction (z-direction) but the results are not correct.

The function is added to controlDict ``

` columnAverage

{

type         columnAverage;

libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

writeControl  writeTime;

patches       (front);

fields        (p pPrime2Mean wallShearStressMean);

}`

I have the front plane is normal to z-direction,so i choose the front plane as a patches in the columnAverage function

The result of pPrime2Mean wallShearStressMean are shown below pPrime

WallShearStressMean

The columnAverage results seems to be incorrect
