- can now specify sampled sets as dictionary entries instead of a list
entry.
can now use: sets { ... }
instead of: sets ( ... );
This is similar to sampled surfaces and makes it easier to
manage with dictionary manipulation tools.
TUT: update to use writeTime instead of outputTime
ENH: update libs of etc/caseDicts/postProcess items
ENH: ensure destructor=default
ENH: ensure constness
ENH: ensure no 'copy construct' and 'no copy assignment' exist
TUT: add examples of function objects with full set
of settings into a TUT if unavailable
TUT: update pisoFoam/RAS/cavity tutorial in terms of usage
- helps reduce clutter in the topoSetDict files.
Caveats when using this.
The older specification styles using "name" will conflict with the
set name. Eg,
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
sourceInfo
{
name inlet;
}
}
would flattened to the following
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
name inlet;
}
which overwrites the "name" used for the faceSet.
The solution is to use the updated syntax:
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
patch inlet;
}
- improve doxygen entries for searchable surfaces.
- support selection of searchable surfaces with shorter names.
Eg,
type box | cylinder | ...;
vs type searchableBox | searchableCylinder | ...;
- functionObjectLibs -> libs
- redirectType -> name
- change deprecated writeCompression flags types to Switch.
- cleanup some trailing ';;' from some dictionaries
Within decomposeParDict, it is now possible to specify a different
decomposition method, methods coefficients or number of subdomains
for each region individually.
The top-level numberOfSubdomains remains mandatory, since this
specifies the number of domains for the entire simulation.
The individual regions may use the same number or fewer domains.
Any optional method coefficients can be specified in a general
"coeffs" entry or a method-specific one, eg "metisCoeffs".
For multiLevel, only the method-specific "multiLevelCoeffs" dictionary
is used, and is also mandatory.
----
ENH: shortcut specification for multiLevel.
In addition to the longer dictionary form, it is also possible to
use a shorter notation for multiLevel decomposition when the same
decomposition method applies to each level.
- Instead of relying on #inputMode to effect a global change it is now
possible (and recommended) to a temporary change in the inputMode
for the following entry.
#default : provide default value if entry is not already defined
#overwrite : silently remove a previously existing entry
#warn : warn about duplicate entries
#error : error if any duplicate entries occur
#merge : merge sub-dictionaries when possible (the default mode)
This is generally less cumbersome than the switching the global
inputMode. For example to provide a set of fallback values.
#includeIfPresent "user-files"
...
#default value uniform 10;
vs.
#includeIfPresent "user-files"
#inputMode protect
...
value uniform 10;
#inputMode merge // _Assuming_ we actually had this before
These directives can also be used to suppress the normal dictionary
merge semantics:
#overwrite dict { entry val; ... }
- 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.
Adds overset discretisation to selected physics:
- diffusion : overLaplacianDyMFoam
- incompressible steady : overSimpleFoam
- incompressible transient : overPimpleDyMFoam
- compressible transient: overRhoPimpleDyMFoam
- two-phase VOF: overInterDyMFoam
The overset method chosen is a parallel, fully implicit implementation
whereby the interpolation (from donor to acceptor) is inserted as an
adapted discretisation on the donor cells, such that the resulting matrix
can be solved using the standard linear solvers.
Above solvers come with a set of tutorials, showing how to create and set-up
simple simulations from scratch.
