Tests have shown that PBiCGStab with the DILU preconditioner is more
robust, reliable and shows faster convergence (~2x) than PBiCG with
DILU, in particular in parallel where PBiCG occasionally diverges.

This remarkable improvement over PBiCG prompted the update of all
tutorial cases currently using PBiCG to use PBiCGStab instead.  If any
issues arise with this update please report on Mantis: http://bugs.openfoam.org

4129560601 potentialFoam: Solve for velocity potential named Phi rather than using the pressure field for this purpose
The Phi field is read if available otherwise created automatically with
boundary conditions obtained automatically from the pressure field if
available (with optional name) otherwise inferred from the velocity
field.  Phi Laplacian scheme and solver specification are required.  See
tutorials for examples.
