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.
- 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.
- Use on/off vs longer compressed/uncompressed.
For consistency, replaced yes/no with on/off.
- Avoid the combination of binary/compressed,
which is disallowed and provokes a warning anyhow
Radiative heat transfer may now be added to any solver in which an energy
equation is solved at run-time rather than having to change the solver code.
For example, radiative heat transfer is now enabled in the SandiaD_LTS
reactingFoam tutorial by providing a constant/fvOptions file containing
radiation
{
type radiation;
libs ("libradiationModels.so");
}
and appropriate settings in the constant/radiationProperties file.
including support for TDAC and ISAT for efficient chemistry calculation.
Description
Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) turbulent combustion model.
This model considers that the reaction occurs in the regions of the flow
where the dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy takes place (fine
structures). The mass fraction of the fine structures and the mean residence
time are provided by an energy cascade model.
There are many versions and developments of the EDC model, 4 of which are
currently supported in this implementation: v1981, v1996, v2005 and
v2016. The model variant is selected using the optional \c version entry in
the \c EDCCoeffs dictionary, \eg
\verbatim
EDCCoeffs
{
version v2016;
}
\endverbatim
The default version is \c v2015 if the \c version entry is not specified.
