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.
To unsure fvOptions are instantiated for post-processing createFvOptions.H must
be included in createFields.H rather than in the solver directly.

BUG: porousSimpleFoam: moved createFvOptions.H into createFields.H for -postProcess option

BUG: solvers: Moved fvOption construction into createFields.H for post-processing
This ensures that the fvOptions are constructed for the -postProcessing option
so that functionObjects which process fvOption data operate correctly in this
mode.
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
Required to support LTS with the -postProcess option with sub-models dependent on ddt
terms during construction, in particular reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam.
Allows the specification of a reference height, for example the height
of the free-surface in a VoF simulation, which reduces the range of p_rgh.
hRef is a uniformDimensionedScalarField specified via the constant/hRef
file, equivalent to the way in which g is specified, so that it can be
looked-up from the database. For example see the constant/hRef file in
the DTCHull LTSInterFoam and interDyMFoam cases.
This is an experimental feature demonstrating the potential of MULES to
create bounded solution which are 2nd-order in time AND space.
Crank-Nicolson may be selected on U and/or alpha but will only be fully
2nd-order if used on both within the PIMPLE-loop to converge the
interaction between the flux and phase-fraction. Note also that
Crank-Nicolson may not be used with sub-cycling but all the features of
semi-implicit MULES are available in particular MULESCorr and
alphaApplyPrevCorr.
Examples of ddt specification:
ddtSchemes
{
default Euler;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default CrankNicolson 0.9;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(alpha) CrankNicolson 0.9;
ddt(rho,U) CrankNicolson 0.9;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(alpha) Euler;
ddt(rho,U) CrankNicolson 0.9;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(alpha) CrankNicolson 0.9;
ddt(rho,U) Euler;
}
In these examples a small amount of off-centering in used to stabilize
the Crank-Nicolson scheme. Also the specification for alpha1 is via the
generic phase-fraction name to ensure in multiphase solvers (when
Crank-Nicolson support is added) the scheme is identical for all phase
fractions.
