When restarting form a previous calculation, the averaging is continuous or
may be restarted using the \c restartOnRestart option.
The averaging process may be restarted after each calculation output time
using the \c restartOnOutput option or restarted periodically using the \c
periodicRestart option and setting \c restartPeriod to the required
averaging period.
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
fieldAverage1
{
type fieldAverage;
functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
...
restartOnRestart false;
restartOnOutput false;
periodicRestart false;
restartPeriod 0.002;
fields
(
U
{
mean on;
prime2Mean on;
base time;
window 10.0;
windowName w1;
}
p
{
mean on;
prime2Mean on;
base time;
}
);
}
\endverbatim
