- ensightWrite, vtkWrite, fv::cellSetOption
ENH: additional topoSet "ignore" action
- this no-op can be used to skip an action step, instead of removing
the entire entry
- this allows more flexibility when defining the location or intensity
of sources.
For example,
{
type scalarSemiImplicitSource;
volumeMode specific;
selectionMode all;
sources
{
tracer0
{
explicit
{
type exprField;
functions<scalar>
{
square
{
type square;
scale 0.0025;
level 0.0025;
frequency 10;
}
}
expression
#{
(hypot(pos().x() + 0.025, pos().y()) < 0.01)
? fn:square(time())
: 0
#};
}
}
}
}
ENH: SemiImplicitSource: handle "sources" with explicit/implicit entries
- essentially the same as injectionRateSuSp with Su/Sp,
but potentially clearer in purpose.
ENH: add Function1 good() method to define if function can be evaluated
- for example, provides a programmatic means of avoiding the 'none'
function
- similar to the geometric decomposition constraint,
allows a compositing selection of cells based on topoSet sources
which also include various searchableSurface mechanisms.
This makes for potentially easier placement of sources without
resorting to defining a cellSet.
ENH: support zone group selection for fv::cellSetOption and fa::faceSetOption
Reports cloud information for particles passing through a specified cell
zone.
Example usage:
cloudFunctions
{
particleZoneInfo1
{
type particleZoneInfo;
cellZone leftFluid;
// Optional entries
//writer vtk;
}
}
Results are written to file:
- \<case\>/postProcessing/lagrangian/\<cloudName\>/\<functionName\>/\<time\>
\# cellZone : leftFluid
\# time : 1.0000000000e+00
\#
\# origID origProc (x y z) time0 age d0 d mass0 mass
Where
- origID : particle ID
- origProc : processor ID
- (x y z) : Cartesian co-ordinates
- time0 : time particle enters the cellZone
- age : time spent in the cellZone
- d0 : diameter on entry to the cellZone
- d : current diameter
- mass0 : mass on entry to the cellZone
- mass : current mass
If the optional \c writer entry is supplied, cloud data is written in the
specified format.
During the run, output statistics are reported after the cloud solution,
e.g.:
particleZoneInfo:
Cell zone = leftFluid
Contributions = 257
Here, 'Contributions' refers to the number of incremental particle-move
contributions recorded during this time step. At write times, the output
is extended, e.g.:
particleZoneInfo:
Cell zone = leftFluid
Contributions = 822
Number of particles = 199
Written data to "postProcessing/lagrangian/reactingCloud1/
TUT: filter: add an example for the particleZoneInfo function object
- Previously, the multiFieldValue function object was limited to operate on
lists of fieldValue function objects.
- Any function objects that generate results can now be used, e.g.
pressureAverage
{
type multiFieldValue;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
operation average;
functions
{
inlet
{
type surfaceFieldValue;
operation areaAverage;
regionType patch;
name inlet;
fields (p);
writeFields no;
writeToFile no;
log no;
resultFields (areaAverage(inlet,p));
}
outlet
{
type surfaceFieldValue;
operation areaAverage;
regionType patch;
name outlet;
fields (p);
writeFields no;
writeToFile no;
log no;
}
average
{
type valueAverage;
functionObject testSample1;
fields (average(p));
writeToFile no;
log no;
}
}
}
TUT: cavity: add an example for the multiFieldValue function object
Two problems:
- flipping inside snappyHexMesh is not done in a parallel
consistent way. So e.g. the octree-cached inside/outside information
has already been calculated. For now flipping of
distributedTriSurfaceMesh is disabled.
- octree-cached inside/outside information was using already
cached information and would only work for outwards pointing
volumes
- 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
Automatic hole closure:
- introduces 'holeToFace' topoSet source
- used when detecting a 'leak-path'
- creates additional baffles to close the leak
Multi-stage layer addition:
- Can add layers in multiple passes
See issues: #2403, #2404
- the internal data are contiguous so can broadcast size and internals
directly without an intermediate stream.
ENH: split out broadcast time for profilingPstream information
STYLE: minor Pstream cleanup
- UPstream::commsType_ from protected to private, since it already has
inlined noexcept getters/setters that should be used.
- don't pass unused/unneed tag into low-level MPI reduction templates.
Document where tags are not needed
- had Pstream::broadcast instead of UPstream::broadcast in internals
- now largely encapsulated using PstreamBuffers methods,
which makes it simpler to centralize and maintain
- avoid building intermediate structures when sending data,
remove unused methods/data
TUT: parallel version of depthCharge2D
STYLE: minor update in ProcessorTopology
- this can be used to apply a uniform field level to remove from
a sampled field. For example,
fieldLevel
{
"p.*" 1e5; // Absolute -> gauge [Pa]
T 273.15; // [K] -> [C]
U #eval{ 10/sqrt(3) }; // Uniform mag(U)=10
}
After the fieldLevel has been removed, any fieldScale is applied.
For example
fieldScale
{
"p.*" 0.01; // [Pa] -> [mbar]
}
The fieldLevel for vector and tensor fields may still need some
further refinement.
- when used with *any* alphaField and normalised (the usual case)
would largely give a 0-1 corresponding to the min/max of the first
component, but could also yield negative values.
- if the alpha field corresponds identically to colour field, it is
readily possible to combine as into RGBA sequences. However, if the
fields are different it potentially means referencing an opacity
field that has not yet been sampled. This impedes using the format
for a streaming sampler without additional overhead and/or rewriting
the alpha channel later.
- supports sampling/probing of values to obtain min/max/average/size
at execution intervals without writing any output or generating
output directories.
- 'verbose' option for additional output
The parcel initial velocity can now be set using the new `velocityType`
entry, taking one of the following options:
- fixedValue : (default) same as earlier versions, requires U0
- patchValue : velocity set to seed patch face value
- zeroGradient : velocity set to seed patch face adjacent cell value
Example usage:
model1
{
type patchInjection;
massTotal 1;
SOI 0;
parcelBasisType mass;
patch cylinder;
duration 10;
parcelsPerSecond 100;
velocityType patchValue;
//velocityType zeroGradient;
//U0 (-10 0 0);
flowRateProfile constant 1;
sizeDistribution
{
type normal;
normalDistribution
{
expectation 1e-3;
variance 1e-4;
minValue 1e-5;
maxValue 2e-3;
}
}
}
See the new $FOAM_TUTORIALS/lagrangian/kinematicParcelFoam/spinningDisk tutorial
The turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMixed boundary condition
has been superseded by the turbulentTemperatureRadCoupledMixed condition
TUT: injectorPipe: remove an unused entry
TUT: waveMakerFlap: remove uncompressed entry
- provides a simple means of defining/modifying fields. For example,
```
<name1>
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
field pTotal;
expression "p + 0.5*(rho*magSqr(U))";
dimensions [ Pa ];
}
```
It is is also possible to modify an existing field.
For example, to modify the previous one.
```
<name2>
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
field pTotal;
action modify;
// Static pressure only in these regions
fieldMask
#{
(mag(pos()) < 0.05) && (pos().y() > 0)
|| cellZone(inlet)
#};
expression "p";
}
```
To use as a simple post-process calculator, simply avoid storing the
result and only generate on write:
```
<name2>
{
store false;
executionControl none;
writeControl writeTime;
...
}
```
- literal lookups only for expression strings
- code reduction for setExprFields.
- changed keyword "condition" to "fieldMask" (option -field-mask).
This is a better description of its purpose and avoids possible
naming ambiguities with functionObject triggers (for example)
if we apply similar syntax elsewhere.
BUG: erroneous check in volumeExpr::parseDriver::isResultType()
- not triggered since this method is not used anywhere
(may remove in future version)
- this refines commit c233961d45, which added prefix scoping.
Default is now off (v2106 behaviour).
The 'useNamePrefix' keyword can be specified on a per function basis
or at the top-level of "functions".
```
functions
{
errors warn;
useNamePrefix true;
func1
{
type ...;
useNamePrefix false;
}
func2
{
type ...;
// Uses current default for useNamePrefix
}
}
```
- marks if the value is considered to be independent of 'x'.
Propagate into PatchFunction1 instead ad hoc checks there.
- adjust method name in PatchFunction1 to 'whichDb()' to reflect
final changes in Function1 method names.
ENH: add a Function1 'none' placeholder function
- This is principally useful for interfaces that expect a Function1
but where it is not necessarily used by a particular submodel.
TUT: update Function1 creation to use objectRegistry
- use `#word` to concatenate, expand content with the resulting string
being treated as a word token. Can be used in dictionary or
primitive context.
In dictionary context, it fills the gap for constructing dictionary
names on-the-fly. For example,
```
#word "some_prefix_solverInfo_${application}"
{
type solverInfo;
libs (utilityFunctionObjects);
...
}
```
The '#word' directive will automatically squeeze out non-word
characters. In the block content form, it will also strip out
comments. This means that this type of content should also work:
```
#word {
some_prefix_solverInfo
/* Appended with application name (if defined) */
${application:+_} // Use '_' separator
${application} // The application
}
{
type solverInfo;
libs (utilityFunctionObjects);
...
}
```
This is admittedly quite ugly, but illustrates its capabilities.
- use `#message` to report expanded string content to stderr.
For example,
```
T
{
solver PBiCG;
preconditioner DILU;
tolerance 1e-10;
relTol 0;
#message "using solver: $solver"
}
```
Only reports on the master node.
- provide a plain stream() method on messageStream to reduce reliance
on casting operators and slightly opaque operator()() calls etc
- support alternative stream for messageStream serial output.
This can be used to support local redirection of output.
For example,
refPtr<OFstream> logging; // or autoPtr, unique_ptr etc
// Later...
Info.stream(logging.get())
<< "Detailed output ..." << endl;
This will use the stdout semantics in the normal case, or allow
redirection to an output file if a target output stream is defined,
but still effectively use /dev/null on non-master processes.
This is mostly the same as this ternary
(logging ? *logging : Info())
except that the ternary could be incorrect on sub-processes,
requires more typing etc.
ENH: use case-relative names of dictionary, IOstream for FatalIOError
- normally yields more easily understandable information
- argList::envExecutable() static method.
This is identical to getEnv("FOAM_EXECUTABLE"), where the name of
the executable has typically been set from the argList construction.
Provides a singleton access to this value from locations that
do not have knowledge of the originating command args (argList).
This is a similar rationale as for the argList::envGlobalPath() static.
- additional argList::envRelativePath() static method.
- make -dry-run handling more central and easier to use by adding into
argList itself.
STYLE: drop handling of -srcDoc (v1706 option)
- replaced with -doc-source for 1712 and never used much anyhow
The original thermoSurfaceFilm sub-models were divided between kinematicSurfaceFilm and thermoSurfaceFilm in order to use the surfaceFilm model in a kinematicCloud.
The film interaction models are now in a kinematicSurface class which can be used in a kinematic cloud adding constant thermal properties (p and T) for some sub-models, e.g. drySplashInteraction/wetSplashInteraction.
pRef and Tref were added to the kinematicSurfaceFilm as entry to the regionFilm when used with a kinematic cloud.
In the finite area surface film model Tref, pRef are stored in filmSubModelBase.
TUT: kinematicParcelFoam: new tutorial pitzDailySprinkles
1) Adding subMesh capabilities to momentumError and div FOs.
- A subMesh is created from cellZones.
- The operators (div, etc) are only calculated in the subMesh.
2) Optionally, halo cells can be added to the cellZones.
3) New helper class to handle the subMesh creation and field mapping.
- previously a function (unlike the csh version) but since bashrc and
setup have been split -> replace with inline definition
STYLE: formatting/wording for openfoam starters
TUT: simplify controlDict modification, add default substitution
ENH: accept '/' for end-of-options terminator (etc/openfoam)
- makes the application or service more apparent.
* eg. /usr/bin/openfoam / blockMesh
* vs. /usr/bin/openfoam -- blockMesh
Accept lone '-' as the end-of-options terminator, as per bash
- Adjust handling of openfoam '-c' option to flag that a command-string
will appear, but continue with option parsing.
Consistent with bash definition.
- adjust commented-out evaluation to avoid warnings.
With code like this
```
#if 0
nxin #eval{ round($nxin / 5) };
#endif
```
The handling of the "#if 0 / #endif" clause uses the plain ISstream
parser to tokenize. This means that the "round(" is parsed as a word
with a mismatched closing ')', whereas the "#eval" parser will slurp
everything in until the closing brace and send it off as a string
to the expression parser.
Wrapper that clones the supplied object for each region.
Simplifies the setup of identical post-processing requirements for
multi-region cases.
Applies the supplied function to all regions by default.
Example of function object specification:
multiRegion
{
type multiRegion;
libs (utilityFunctionObjects);
...
function
{
// Actual object specification
type fieldMinMax;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
fields (<field1> .. <fieldN>);
}
// Optional entries
regions (region1 region2);
}
Where the entries comprise:
Property | Description | Reqd | Default
type | Type name: multiRegion | yes |
function | Function object sub-dictionary | yes |
regions | List of region names | no | all
Computes a selected operation between multiple \c fieldValue function
objects.
The operation is applied to all results of each \c fieldValue object.
Note
Each object must generate the same number and type of results.
Usage
Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
multiFieldValue1
{
// Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
type multiFieldValue;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
// Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
operation subtract;
// List of fieldValue function objects as dictionaries
functions
{
region1
{
...
}
region2
{
...
}
...
regionN
{
...
}
}
// Optional (inherited) entries
...
}
where the entries mean:
Property | Description | Type | Req'd | Dflt
type | Type name: multiFieldValue | word | yes | -
libs | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word | yes | -
operation | Operation type to apply to values | word | yes | -
functions | List of fieldValue function objects | dict | yes | -
\endtable
Options for the \c operation entry:
add | add
subtract | subtract
min | minimum
max | maximum
average | average
Deprecated fieldValueDelta
- The fieldValueDelta function object was originally written to compute the
difference between two fieldValue-type function objects. The multiFieldValue
object name better describes its purpose whilst being able to operate on an
arbitrary number of fieldValue-type objects.
- support wordRes for selecting patch names
- ownerPolyPatch specification is now optional, which simplifies input
and also supports a faMesh spanning different patches but with a
single boundary condition.
Alternatively, can specify more granularity if required.
```
polyMeshPatches ( "top.*" );
boundary
{
inlet1
{
type patch;
ownerPolyPatch top1; // <- specific to this portion
neighbourPolyPatch inlet;
}
inlet2
{
type patch;
ownerPolyPatch top2; // <- specific to this portion
neighbourPolyPatch inlet;
}
outlet
{
type patch;
neighbourPolyPatch outflow;
}
bound
{
type symmetry;
neighbourPolyPatch bound;
}
}
```
- additional -serial/-parallel option:
prefer Allrun-serial or Allrun-parallel if available
- optional -output=DIR to preserve output
ENH: report missing tutorials/ directory in RunFunctions
code style and quality improvements
renamed recon::centre to interfaceCentre.{groupName}
ranmed recon::normal to interfaceNormal.{groupName}
centre and normal field are not written by default
- meshTools include/library for many (most) coded items
- add PatchFunction1 include for coded BCs to provide ready access
to Function1 and PatchFunction1
- adjust surfactantFoam/planeTransport tutorial to have partial
coverage of the plate by the finiteArea mesh.
Depending on the decomposition, the outflow boundary may coincide
with a processor patch (good for testing purposes).
- additional Allrun-parallel versions for targetted future behaviour
- can be used for block-like meshes that are not aligned with the global
coordinate directions. Alternatively, for general testing purposes.
Example,
method simple;
coeffs
{
n ( 2 2 2 );
transform
{
origin (-0.15 0.15 0);
e1 (1 1 0);
e3 (0 0 1);
}
}
- additional debug information
- improve support for dictionary specification of constant, polynomial
and table entries. These previously only worked properly for
primitiveEntry, which causes confusion.
- extend table Function1 to include TableFile functionality.
Simplifies switching and modifying content.
Checking for the sum of species mass fraction in multiComponentMixture.
It can't be zero at the internal field or patches. A fatal error is thrown.
A warning was added if the mixture sum is different from one. In a
re-start the mass fraction can be slightly unbounded and new
normalization is required.
- simplify compile/uncompile, reading, assignment
- implicit construct wordRe from keyType (was explicit) to simplify
future API changes.
- make Foam::isspace consistent with std::isspace (C-locale)
by including vertical tab and form feed
ENH: improve #ifeq float/label comparisons
- overCompressibleInterDyMFoam: Overset solver for two compressible,

phase-fraction based interface capturing approach.
- overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam: Overset solver for two incompressible,
isothermal, immiscible fluids with phase-change (e.g. cavitation) using
VoF (i.e. volume of fluid) phase-fraction based interface capturing approach.

- new '-ascii' option to write in ASCII format instead of the
controlDict setting. This can be useful when generating fields that
should be parsed with other tools, or for visual inspection.
- correct mismatch of option names and lookups
- can use either command-line option "-load-fields" or dictionary
entry "readFields" to specify field names to be preloaded.
Essentially the same functionality as with a readFields function
object but with a lot less typing.
- tutorial examples provided by Ryan Danks <ryan.danks@rwdi.com>
illustrate using setExpr* utilities to calculate a quantity
as a post-processing step.
to operate with overset
1) Adding zoneMotion to rigidBodyMotion
2) Introducing PID to prescribedRotation restraint
3) Making drivenLinearMotion read total displacement
4) When drivenLinearMotion is used sixDof and rigid-body solvers
write total displacement
- override casename, procesorCase flags to guarantee reconstructed
case to be written to the undecomposed directory
- alternative is to construct a Zero mesh on the undecomposed
runTime and add all other bits to that but that has not been
pursued
- the raw surface writer simply outputs x/y/z and field values.
This additional flag allows recovery of some geometric information.
- optional user-specified output precision
Example,
```
formatOptions
{
raw
{
normal yes;
precision 10;
}
}
```
- previously hard-coded, now adjustable within PDRsetFieldsDict
// Change some predefined patch names
patchNames

ENH: additions to PDRutils, improve comments
- expose enumerated expansion names and gridControl (PDRblock).
Not commonly needed, but useful to have access when defining
other grid generators
TUT: update PDRsetFieldsDict and tutorials to use "ground"
- remove tutorial references to unused types and legacy obstacles
- use "ground" for the boundary conditions instead of "seaGround".
Consistent with PDRblockMesh
1) PhaseIncompressibleTurbulenceModel class was changed to use
uniform alpha and non-uniform rho templates. This fits the need
of incompressible two phase turbulence models.
2) A new type DPMIncompressibleTurbulenceModel was created for
non-uniform alpha and uniform rho. It is used in single phase flows
in DPM solvers where alpha represents the volumen occupancy.
3) A new type incompressibleRhoTurbulenceModel was created where
non-uniform rho is allowed.
4) A new base templated turbulent class for two-phase VOF named
VoFphaseTurbulentTransportModel was implemented which is created
templating on PhaseIncompressibleTurbulenceModel and
incompressibleRhoTurbulenceModel
5) In order to make the chnage to rho based VOF turbulence a help
class was added incompressibleInterPhaseTransportModel templated
on the mixing.
COMP: fix SP/DP inconsistency in fvGeometryScheme
STYLE: rename polyMesh::updateGeom to polyMesh::updateGeomPoints
- avoids compiler complaints and potential masking of
primitiveMesh::updateGeom / fvMesh::updateGeom
- mark argument as movable, since that is what is happening inside.
GIT: remove merge cruft
TUT: better clean on MPPICInterFoam
This adds a 'geometry' scheme section to the system/fvSchemes:
geometry
{
type highAspectRatio;
}
These 'fvGeometryMethod's are used to calculate
- deltaCoeffs
- nonOrthoCoeffs
etc and can even modify the basic face/cellCentres calculation.
Creates volume fields whose boundaries are used to store patch interaction
statistics.
Current field output per patch face:
- \<cloud\>\<model\>:count - cumulative particle hits
- \<cloud\>\<model\>:mass - cumuluative mass of hitting particles
Fields can be reset according to:
- none: fields are not reset
- timeStep: reset at each time step
- writeTime: reset at each write time
Usage
patchInteractionFields1
{
type patchInteractionFields;
resetMode writeTime;
}
Member function dKcdTbyKc in thermo.H is calculated from S and G at Pstd.
Thus dGdT was removed from the thermos.
- Add optional hRef, eRef and Tref as optional.
- Use new thermo to multiphase solver icoReactingMuliPhaseFoam
- Remove hRefConst and eRefConst thermos.
TUT: Updated tutorials
The generalizedNewtonian viscocity models were ported from
the org version and added to the laminar turbulence framework.
This allows use in compressible and incompressible solvers
through the turbulence dictionary under the laminar sub-dictionary.
The thermal laminar viscosity is taken from the thermo for solvers
that use thermo library or from the transportProperties dictionary
for incompressible solvers.
At the moment the option to include viscocity models through the
transportDict is still available.
The icoTabulated equation of state was ported from the org version.
STYLE: use 'model' instead of 'laminarModel' in tutorials
- New solver: `acousticFoam`
- New base finite-area region class: `regionFaModel`
- New base shell model classes:

- A thermal-shell model: `thermalShell`
- New finite-area/finite-volume boundary conditions:

- when sampling onto a meshed surface, the sampling surface may be
outside of the mesh region, or simply too far away to be considered
reasonable.
Can now specify a max search distance and default values for samples
that are too distant.
If a default value is not specified, uses Type(Zero).
Eg,
maxDistance 0.005;
defaultValue
{
"p.*" 1e5;
T 273.15;
U (-100 -100 -100);
}
- additional "names" entry to specify a word/regex list of selections
For example,
{
type patch;
name inlets;
names ("inlet_[0-9].*" inlet);
}
- if "names" exists AND contains a literal (non-regex) that can be used
as a suitable value for "name", the "name" entry becomes optional.
For example,
{
type patch;
names ("inlet_[0-9].*" inlet);
// inferred name = inlet
}
- reduce some overhead in surfaceFieldValue
TUT: surfaceFieldValue on patches : reactingParcelFoam/verticalChannel
- For slow oscillations it can be more intuitive to specify the

BUG: incorrect square wave fraction with negative phase shifts
ENH: additional cosine Function1
STYLE: avoid code duplication by inheriting Cosine/Square from Sine.
Computes a histogram for the distribution of particle diameters
and corresponding number of particles hitting on a given list of patches.
A minimal example by using `constant/reactingCloud1Properties.cloudFunctions`:

}
```
- code reduction, documentation, code stubs for spheroid (#1901)
- make searchableSurfaceCollection available as 'collection'
for consistency with other objects
- add -recentre option to shift points according to the bounding box
centre before performing other operations
- add -auto-origin to use the bounding box centre as the origin for
rotations. Has lower priority than the -origin option.
- surfaceTransformPoints now has distinct -read-scale, -write-scale
options (as per surfaceMeshConvert). Silently accepts -scale as
equivalent to -write-scale, for backwards compatibility and
similarity with transformPoints
- add -steps option for surfaceRefineRedGreen for successive
refinement
Allows specification of extrusion path using blockMesh 'edges' syntax.

Contribution by Ivor Clifford/Paul Scherrer Institut
- in most cases this eliminates manually calculation of circumferential
points.
TUT: improve parameterization of sphere blockMeshDict
- allow separate parameterization of radius, ratio of inner to outer,
and the number of divisions in x/y/z and radial directions
- timeVaryingUniformFixedValue -> uniformFixedValue
- allows a variety of functions (eg, coded, expressions, tables, ...)
- more similarity to finiteVolume patch type
STYLE: remove unused timeVarying... from etc/controlDict
1) Adding LiquidEvapFuchsKnudsen model for lagrangian evaporation.
This models is based on a diffusion type of evaporation/
condensation on particles composed of solution (liquid + solid).
2) Adding modes of calculating the particle rho and volume change.
The new keyword in constantProperties is 'volumeUpdateMethod'
which three options:
a) constantRho
b) constantVolume
c) updateRhoAndVol
The old keyword 'constantVolume' true/face is still valid
3) The entry rho0 is now optional for multicomponent parcels.
If defined , it is used, but if it is not the actual mixture
provided is used to calculate rho0 of the particle.
T0 is still used as initial T and Cp0 is over-written in the
multicomponent cloud but still required.
4) Adding tutorial for evaporation/condensation model
- slipped in with changes to csvTableReader (commit 59ed3ba18d) so
only affects the 2006 version.
- adjust constructor to expect "componentColumns", but also accept
"valueColumns" as 1912 and earlier-compatibility. This not only
fixes the reported bug, but also ensure proper compatibility with

ENH: use "refColumn" instead of "timeColumn" for csvTableReader
- consistent with the CSV Function1.
Support 'timeColumn' as 1912 and earlier-compatibility.
TUT: remove unused table-reader entry
- related to change c3571b7357 (does not affect 1912 or older).
Remnant check for data() should have used valid() method instead.
TUT: add fluxSummary cellZoneAndDirection to angledDuct/implicit
- the earlier implementation of externally controlled lumped point
motion (see merge request !120 and OpenFOAM-v1706 release notes) was
conceived for the motion of simple structures such as buildings or
simple beams. The motion controller was simply defined in terms of
an orientation axis and divisions along that axis.
To include complex structures, multiple motion controllers are
defined in terms of support points and connectivity.
The points can have additional node Ids associated with them, which
makes it easier to map to/from FEA models.
OLD system/lumpedPointMovement specification
--------------------------------------------
//- Reference axis for the locations
axis (0 0 1);
//- Locations of the lumped points
locations (0 0.05 .. 0.5);
NEW system/lumpedPointMovement specification
--------------------------------------------
// Locations of the lumped points
points
(
(0 0 0.00)
(0 0 0.05)
...
(0 0 0.50)
);
//- Connectivity for motion controllers
controllers
{
vertical
{
pointLabels (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10);
}
}
And the controller(s) must be associated with the given
pointDisplacement patch. Eg,
somePatch
{
type lumpedPointDisplacement;
value uniform (0 0 0);
controllers ( vertical ); // <-- NEW
}
TUT: adjust building motion tutorial
- use new controllor definitions
- replace building response file with executable
- add updateControl in dynamicMeshDict for slowly moving structure
- use simpler decomposeParDict in tutorials, several had old
'boilerplate' decomposeParDict
- use simpler libs () format
- update surface sampling to use dictionary format
- Removed some unnecessary dynamicMeshDicts.
- Removed the writeActiveDesignVariables execution from the Allrun
scripts, since it is no longer necessary to execute it before
adjointOptimisationFoam.
- Updated the entries in dynamicMeshDict according to efbc9fc99.
