- although this has been supported for many years, the tutorials
continued to use "convertToMeters" entry, which is specific to blockMesh.
The "scale" is more consistent with other dictionaries.
ENH:
- ignore "scale 0;" (treat as no scaling) for blockMeshDict,
consistent with use elsewhere.
snappyHexMesh produces a far better quality AMI interface using a cylindrical background mesh,
leading to much more robust performance, even on a relatively coarse mesh. The min/max AMI
weights remain close to 1 as the mesh moves, giving better conservation.
The rotating geometry template cases are configured with a blockMeshDict file for a cylindrical
background mesh aligned along the z-axis. The details of use are found in the README and
blockMeshDict files.
The templates include a stategy to simplify meshing with snappyHexMesh,
particularly to help generate an initial mesh quickly that can subsequently be
improved. The templates are setup to enable rapid initial simulations, typically
with simpleFoam. The initial templates cover simple inflow-outflow and closed
domains, including rotating geometry, and an example axisymmetric flow. For
more details, consult the README file accompanying each template case.
The cases are located in $FOAM_ETC/templates
