83bae2efd3 functionObjects: Renamed dictionary entry 'functionObjectLibs' -> 'libs'
This changes simplifies the specification of functionObjects in
controlDict and is consistent with the 'libs' option in controlDict to
load special solver libraries.

Support for the old 'functionObjectLibs' name is supported for backward compatibility.

6164c2f262 Standardized the naming of functions which control the writing of fields etc.
to have the prefix 'write' rather than 'output'

So outputTime() -> writeTime()

but 'outputTime()' is still supported for backward-compatibility.

Also removed the redundant secondary-writing functionality from Time
which has been superseded by the 'writeRegisteredObject' functionObject.

c983670c91 functionObjects: Changed options 'outputControl' -> 'writeControl' and 'outputInterval' -> 'writeInterval'
for consistency with the time controls in controlDict and to avoid
unnecessary confusion.  All code and tutorials have been updated.

The old names 'outputControl' and 'outputInterval' are but supported for
backward compatibility but deprecated.

1b34231340 tutorials: Renamed .org -> .orig
See http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=2076
  - .org is the file extension for emacs org-mode as well
  - .orig is more to the point (.org isn't always recognized as "original")
  - .original is too long, although more consistent with the convention
    of source code file naming

4c21f24a8c Input of dimensionedScalars: update read-construction of dimensionedScalar in applications
so that the specification of the name and dimensions are optional in property dictionaries.

Update tutorials so that the name of the dimensionedScalar property is
no longer duplicated but optional dimensions are still provided and are
checked on read.

0fb6a01280 fluxRequired: Added setFluxRequired function to fvSchemes class
Added calls to setFluxRequired for p, p_rgh etc. in all solvers which
avoids the need to add fluxRequired entries in fvSchemes dictionaries.

3a004fda10 fvOptions: Separate options for all cells, cellSets and inter-region coupling
by introducing rational base-classes rather than using the hideous
'switch' statement.  Further rationalization of the cell-selection
mechanism will be implemented via an appropriate class hierarchy to
replace the remaining 'switch' statement.

Mesh-motion is currently handled very inefficiently for cellSets and not
at all for inter-region coupling.  The former will be improved when the
cell-selection classes are written and the latter by making the
meshToMesh class a MeshObject after it has been corrected for mapFields.

c3ee2348a6 MRF: Separate MRF from fvOptions
fvOptions does not have the appropriate structure to support MRF as it
is based on option selection by user-specified fields whereas MRF MUST
be applied to all velocity fields in the particular solver.  A
consequence of the particular design choices in fvOptions made it
difficult to support MRF for multiphase and it is easier to support
frame-related and field related options separately.

Currently the MRF functionality provided supports only rotations but
the structure will be generalized to support other frame motions
including linear acceleration, SRF rotation and 6DoF which will be
run-time selectable.

f7e4d0a110 MULES: nLimiterIter and smoothLimiter are now user-input via the corresponding fvSolution sub-dict
nLimiterIter: Number of iterations during limiter construction
    3 (default) is sufficient for 3D simulations with a Courant number 0.5 or so
    For larger Courant numbers larger values may be needed but this is
    only relevant for IMULES and CMULES

smoothLimiter: Coefficient to smooth the limiter to avoid "diamond"
    staggering patters seen in regions of low particle phase-fraction in
    fluidised-bed simulations.

    The default is 0 as it is not needed for all simulations.
    A value of 0.1 is appropriate for fluidised-bed simulations.
    The useful range is 0 -> 0.5.
    Values larger than 0.5 may cause excessive smearing of the solution.

50ada7c994 blockMesh: Change default location of blockMeshDict from constant/polyMesh to system
For multi-region cases the default location of blockMeshDict is now system/<region name>

If the blockMeshDict is not found in system then the constant directory
is also checked providing backward-compatibility
