Class
    Foam::fieldAverage

Description
    Calculates the field averages given list of fieldAverageItems, e.g.

    @verbatim
    fieldAverage1
    {
        // Type of functionObject
        type fieldAverage;

        // Where to load it from (if not already in solver)
        functionObjectLibs ("libfieldAverage.so");

        // Whether to perform a clean restart, or start from previous
        // averaging info if available
        cleanRestart true;

        // Whether to reset the averaged fields after they have been written.
        // Used to average over only the preceding write interval for transient
        // cases.
        resetOnOutput true;

        // Fields to be averaged. runTime modifiable!
        fields
        (
            U
            {
                mean            on;
                prime2Mean      on;
                base            time;
            }
            p
            {
                mean            on;
                prime2Mean      on;
                base            time;
            }
        );
    @endverbatim

    Member function calcAverages() calculates the averages.

    Member function fieldAverage::write() calls calcAverages(). Average
    field names are constructed by concatenating the base field with the
    averaging type, e.g.
    - base field, U
    - arithmetic mean field, UMean
    - prime-squared field, UPrime2Mean

    Information regarding the number of averaging steps, and total averaging
    time are written on a (base) per-field basis to the
    fieldAveragingProperties dictionary, located in <time>/uniform
