- use allocator class to wrap the stream pointers instead of passing
them into ISstream, OSstream and using a dynamic cast to delete
then. This is especially important if we will have a bidirectional
stream (can't delete twice!).
STYLE:
- file stream constructors with std::string (C++11)
- for rewind, explicit about in|out direction. This is not currently
important, but avoids surprises with any future bidirectional access.
- combined string streams in StringStream.H header.
Similar to <sstream> include that has both input and output string
streams.
- STLpoint.H
- isoAdvection.C
- checkMesh/writeFields.C
STYLE: drop construct STLpoint(Istream&), since it doesn't make much sense
- No use case for reading via an OpenFOAM stream and tokenizer.
Should always be parsing ASCII or reading binary directly.
- disable automatically upgrading copyrights in files since changes to
not automatically imply a change in copyright. Eg, fixing a typo in
comments, or changing a variable from 'loopI' to 'loopi' etc.
- this shifts responsibility away from caller to the individual writers
for knowing which file formats are supported and which file ending is
appropriate. When the writer receives the output format request,
it can elect to downgrade or otherwise adjust it to what it can
actually manage (eg, legacy vs xml vs xml-append).
But currently still just with legacy format backends.
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.
- was generally somewhat fragile. The main problem stems from the fact
that several interfaces may be attached to a boundary. No trivial
means of solving this without too much work for a feature that is only
"nice-to-have".
- Remove the unused enums() method since it delivers wholly unreliable
results. It is not guaranteed to cover the full enumeration range,
but only the listed names.
- Remove the unused strings() method.
Duplicated functionality of the words(), but was never used.
- Change access of words() method from static to object.
Better code isolation. Permits the constructor to take over
as the single point of failure for bad input.
- Add values() method
- do not expose internal (HashTable) lookup since it makes it more
difficult to enforce constness and the implementation detail should
not be exposed. However leave toc() and sortedToc() for the interface.
STYLE: relocated NamedEnum under primitives (was containers)
- internal typedef as 'value_type' for some consistency with STL conventions
- less clutter and typing to use the default template parameter when
the key is 'word' anyhow.
- use EdgeMap instead of the longhand HashTable version where
appropriate
except turbulence and lagrangian which will also be updated shortly.
For example in the nonNewtonianIcoFoam offsetCylinder tutorial the viscosity
model coefficients may be specified in the corresponding "<type>Coeffs"
sub-dictionary:
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
CrossPowerLawCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
}
BirdCarreauCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
k [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 1;
}
which allows a quick change between models, or using the simpler
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
if quick switching between models is not required.
To support this more convenient parameter specification the inconsistent
specification of seedSampleSet in the streamLine and wallBoundedStreamLine
functionObjects had to be corrected from
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet uniform; //cloud; //triSurfaceMeshPointSet;
uniformCoeffs
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
to the simpler
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
which also support the "<type>Coeffs" form
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
uniformCoeffs
{
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
}
- just check WM_PROJECT_DIR instead.
- provide a fallback value when FOAM_EXT_LIBBIN might actually be needed.
Only strictly need FOAM_EXT_LIBBIN for scotch/metis decomposition, and
when these are actually supplied by ThirdParty.
All other ThirdParty dependencies are referenced by BOOST_ARCH_PATH etc.
Can therefore drop the FOAM_EXT_LIBBIN dependency for VTK-related
things, which do not use scotch/metis anyhow.
- the purpose is more explicit, without needing to check documentation
about what the bool parameter means.
STYLE: improve formatting of fileName documentation
- The code create a box with a (0,0,0) point.
The new definition is more logical and makes it very easy to grow
the bounding box to include new points. It also simplifies much of
the logic in the constructors.
- Use ROOTVGREAT instead of VGREAT for sizing greatBox and invertedBox.
Avoids some overflow issues reported by Mattijs (thus GREAT has been
used in treeBoundBox), but might still need further revision.
- Constructor for bounding box of a single point.
- add(boundBox), add(point) ...
-> Extend box to enclose the second box or point(s).
Eg,
bb.add(pt);
vs.
bb.min() = Foam::min(bb.min(), pt);
bb.max() = Foam::max(bb.max(), pt);
Also works with other bounding boxes.
Eg,
bb.add(bb2);
// OR
bb += bb2;
vs.
bb.min() = Foam::min(bb.min(), bb2.min());
bb.max() = Foam::max(bb.max(), bb2.max());
'+=' operator allows the reduction to be used in parallel
gather/scatter operations.
A global '+' operator is not currently needed.
Note: may be useful in the future to have a 'clear()' method
that resets to a zero-sized (inverted) box.
STYLE: make many bounding box constructors explicit
reduce()
- parallel reduction of min/max values.
Reduces coding for the callers.
Eg,
bb.reduce();
instead of the previous method:
reduce(bb.min(), minOp<point>());
reduce(bb.max(), maxOp<point>());
STYLE:
- use initializer list for creating static content
- use point::min/point::max when defining standard boxes
By default snappyHexMesh writes files relating to the hex-splitting process into
the polyMesh directory: cellLevel level0Edge pointLevel surfaceIndex
but by setting the noRefinement flag:
writeFlags
(
noRefinement
.
.
.
);
these optional files which are generally not needed are not written.
If you run the three stages of snappyHexMesh separately or run a dynamic mesh
solver supporting refinement and unrefinement these files are needed
and "noRefinement" should not be set.
unless the blockMeshDict is in the polyMesh directory or the "-noClean" option
is specified.
This avoids problems running snappyHexMesh without first clearing files from
polyMesh which interfere with the operation of snappyHexMesh.
e.g. in tutorials/heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/externalCoupledCavity/0/T
hot
{
type externalCoupledTemperature;
commsDir "${FOAM_CASE}/comms";
file "data";
initByExternal yes;
log true;
value uniform 307.75; // 34.6 degC
}
Previously both 'file' and 'fileName' were used inconsistently in different
classes and given that there is no confusion or ambiguity introduced by using
the simpler 'file' rather than 'fileName' this change simplifies the use and
maintenance of OpenFOAM.
- Could be related to interrupted builds.
So if there are any parts of the build that rely on an explicit
'wmakeLnInclude', make sure that the contents are properly updated.
--
ENH: improved feedback from top-level Allwmake
- Report which section (libraries, applications) is being built.
- Provide final summary of date, version, etc, which can be helpful
for later diagnosis or record keeping.
- The -log=XXX option for Allwmake now accepts a directory name
and automatically appends an appropriate log name.
Eg,
./Allwmake -log=logs/ ->> logs/log.linux64GccDPInt32Opt
The default name is built from the value of WM_OPTIONS.
--
BUG: shell not exiting properly in combination with -log option
- the use of 'tee' causes the shell to hang around.
Added an explicit exit to catch this.
--
- Detecting the '-k' (-non-stop) option at the top-level Allwmake, which
may improve robustness.
- Explicit continue-on-error for foamyMesh (as optional component)
- unify format of script messages for better readability
COMP: reduce warnings when building Pstream (old-style casts in openmpi)
- polyMesh constructor from cell shapes invoked 'removeFiles'.
This may or may not be what the caller wants or expects.
With the ParaView blockMesh viewer, this behaviour causes deletion of
all mesh data (points, faces, etc) when the viewer is refreshed.
Triggered even when just building the blockMesh topology.
- only a few places that construct a polyMesh from cell shapes
(mostly mesh conversion utilities).
Ensure that the file removal (if any) occurs in the application
and *not* as a side-effect of calling the polyMesh constructor.
--
blockMesh (application)
- The placement of the removeFiles seems to also remove freshly
generated sets (Bug or feature to remove sets?)

Pstream: added maxCommsSize setting to do (unstructured) parallel transfers in blocks.
Tested:
- with maxCommsSize 0 produces exactly same result as plus.develop
- compiles with label64
- with maxCommsSize e.g. 3 produces exactly same result as plus.develop
- with maxCommsSize=0 exactly the same messages (with Pstream::debug = 1) as plus.develop
See merge request !85
cellZones and pointZones can now be created in one action without the
need to first create a cellSet or pointSet and converting that to the
corresponding zone, e.g.
actions
(
// Example: create cellZone from a box region
{
name c0;
type cellZoneSet;
action new;
source boxToCell;
sourceInfo
{
box (0.04 0 0)(0.06 100 100);
}
}
);
- only occurs in combination with distributedTriSurfaceMesh in snappy.
- workaround similar to that previously used for surfaceRedistributePar
(issue #60).
Minor adjustment of incompressible motorBike tutorial to detect use of
distributedTriSurfaceMesh.
- there was a slight mix of MUST_READ and MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED
but with no obvious code to handle runtime modified values
of the decomposition, or how this works with alternative
dictionaries.
