Hi,

I am quite a new user of Paraview, and I am dealing with the post-process of a CFD simulation. Specifically, I have the 3D velocity and pressure fields of a turbulent simulation, and I would like to find the behaviour of turbulent kinetic energy over time. I am wondering if some of you have already performed such an assignment. Otherwise, how can I perform the integral over time of a given quantity?
