Dear Foamers
I have a 2D case of a reciprocating engine simulation, and the mesh is of moving type and the area of cylinder keeps changing. Since the cylinder geometry is complex, and for further thermodynamic evaluations, area enclosed in the cylinder walls and piston is required. I wanted to know if there is anyway to extract this value by any openFoam utility? or any function to find the area which has to be implemented in controlDict for real-time area calculations?

You can use the mesh utility such as mesh.V() of Mesh.magsf() for calculation of volume and area if you wish to do them cell by cell. And if you wish to operate on a zone you can directly use some averaging utility which is already there in OpenFOAM
