- retain group information when copying zones
- support construct empty (add details later)
- improve consistency for zone and boundaryMesh construction
- support front/back/both selection for faceZoneToCell
STYLE: prefer faceZone patch() method instead of operator()
STYLE: use std::unique_ptr instead of manual pointer management
- for zones and core patch types.
Easier data management, allows default destructors (for example)
- 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.
- new submodels:
- 'equalBinWidth': groups data into bins of equal widths (previous behaviour)
- 'unequalBinWidth': groups data into bins of unequal widths
- output files per time-step are replaced with a single output file
- silently deprecates the input entries: 'setFormat' and 'formatOptions'
- barycentric coordinates in interpolation (instead of x/y/z)
- ease U (velocity) requirement.
Needn't be named in the sampled fields.
- default tracking direction is 'forward'
- 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 specify rotations that are not "axes" in a compact form:
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation none;
}
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle 45;
}
An expanded dictionary form also remains possible:
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation
{
type axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle 45;
}
}
STYLE: verbose deprecation for "coordinateRotation" keyword
- the "coordinateRotation" keyword was replaced by the "rotation"
keyword (OpenFOAM-v1812 and later) but was handled silently.
Now elevated to non-silent.
STYLE: alias lookups "axesRotation", "EulerRotation", "STARCDRotation"
- these warn and report the equivalent short form, which aids in
upgrading. Previously had silent lookups.
- 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
- 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
}
}
```
- 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
- 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
