- for simulations where the yPlus is needed for other purposes or
just for obtaining information on the patches it can be useful
to disable field writing and save disk space.
The 'writeFields' flag (as per some other function objects)
has been added control writing the yPlus volume field.
If unspecified, the default value is 'true' so that the yPlus
function object continues to work as before.
However, this default may change to 'false' in the future to align
with other function objects.
ENH: wallShearStress: support disable of field writing
- similar to yPlus, the write() method combines writing information
and writing the fields. The 'writeFields' flag allows some
separation of that logic.
- replaced PstreamBuffers mechanism with globalIndex for both gather
and scatter operations. Use scheduled communication by default, but
is selectable.
- reduced communication with ensemble averaging and no-write
- simpler to write for sampled cutting planes etc.
For example,
slice
{
type cuttingPlane;
point (0 0 0);
normal (0 0 1);
interpolate true;
}
instead of
slice
{
type cuttingPlane;
planeType pointAndNormal;
pointAndNormalDict
{
point (0 0 0);
normal (0 0 1);
}
interpolate true;
}
STYLE: add noexcept to some plane methods
- 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
- 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.
- use simpler decomposeParDict in tutorials, several had old
'boilerplate' decomposeParDict
- use simpler libs () format
- update surface sampling to use dictionary format
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
- enumerated values are (points | topology) which can be optionally
specified in the blockMeshDict. Default is 'topology'.
If the command-line option `blockMesh -merge-points` is specified,
this has absolute priority over any blockMeshDict entry.
STYLE: changed blockMesh "-blockTopology" option to "-write-obj"
- this is more specific to what it does. Potentially wish to add a
"-write-vtk" option in the future.
TUT: adjust tutorials to use preferred or necessary merge strategies:
* channel395DFSEM - topology
* nozzleFlow2D - points
* pipeCyclic - points
