Application
    Mach

Description
    Calculates and optionally writes the local Mach number from the velocity
    field U at each time.

    The -nowrite option just outputs the max value without writing the field.

Usage

    - Mach [OPTIONS]

    @param -noWrite \n
    Suppress output to files.

    @param -dict <dictionary name>\n
    Use named dictionary instead of system/controlDict.

    @param -noZero \n
    Ignore timestep 0.

    @param -constant \n
    Include the constant directory.

    @param -time <time>\n
    Apply only to specific time.

    @param -latestTime \n
    Only apply to latest time step.

    @param -case <dir>\n
    Case directory.

    @param -parallel \n
    Run in parallel.

    @param -help \n
    Display help message.

    @param -doc \n
    Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.

    @param -srcDoc \n
    Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.
