Integration of VOF MULES new interfaces. Update of VOF solvers and all instances
of MULES in the code.
Integration of reactingTwoPhaseEuler and reactingMultiphaseEuler solvers and sub-models
Updating reactingEuler tutorials accordingly (most of them tested)
New eRefConst thermo used in tutorials. Some modifications at thermo specie level
affecting mostly eThermo. hThermo mostly unaffected
New chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam solver for quenching and tutorial.
Phases sub-models for reactingTwoPhaseEuler and reactingMultiphaseEuler were moved
to src/phaseSystemModels/reactingEulerFoam in order to be used by BC for
chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam.
Update of interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam solver.
ENH: Several modifycations to avoid erroneuos rays to be shot
from wrong faces.
ENH: Updating tutorials and avoiding registration of the
coarse singleCellFvMesh
Adding solarLoad tutorial case simpleCarSolarPanel
ENH: Changes needed for the merge
Adding reflecting fluxes to Solar load radiation model.
Adding functionality to the boundary radiation models and new
place holder for basic wall types such as transparent, opaqueDiffusive,
opaqueReflective,etc.
Changing radiation wall models to run time selectable.
Adding multi-band capabilities to VF model and improving the set up
for using solar loads in VF and fvDOM radiation models.
- check if the first argument corresponds to an OpenFOAM value for
'true' (as per Switch).
True == 't', 'y', 'true', 'yes', 'on'. Everything else is not true.
- when the first argument is '-dict', it initializes the value
with a query via foamDictionary.
Eg,
isTrue -dict mydict -entry parallel
==> value=$(foamDictionary mydict -entry parallel -value)
isTrue $value
a missing entry is silently treated as false.
ENH: add getNumberOfPatchFaces function in RunFunctions
- simple extraction of nFaces from boundary file for given patch/region
- parallel output.
The output is now postProcessing/<name> for similar reasoning as
mentioned in #866 - better alignment with other function objects, no
collision with foamToVTK output.
- align the input parameters with those of vtkCloud so that we can
specify the ASCII precision and the padding width for the output
file names as well.
- emit TimeValue field, support file series generation
- support internal or boundary meshes, combining the result into a vtm
file.
- can restrict conversion based on zone names, enclosing volumes,
bounding box
- helps reduce clutter in the topoSetDict files.
Caveats when using this.
The older specification styles using "name" will conflict with the
set name. Eg,
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
sourceInfo
{
name inlet;
}
}
would flattened to the following
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
name inlet;
}
which overwrites the "name" used for the faceSet.
The solution is to use the updated syntax:
{
name f0
type faceSet;
action add;
source patchToFace;
patch inlet;
}
- old 'DELETE' enum was easily confused with 'REMOVE', which removes
the set, not the elements from the set.
- provide corresponding subtractSet() method
STYLE: HashSet set/unset instead of insert/erase methods in topoSetSource
- simplifies switching to/from bitSet storage
- improve doxygen entries for searchable surfaces.
- support selection of searchable surfaces with shorter names.
Eg,
type box | cylinder | ...;
vs type searchableBox | searchableCylinder | ...;
chtMultiRegionFoam now supports reaction/combustion modelling in fluid
regions in the same way as reactingFoam.
TUT: chtMultiRegionFoam: Added reverseBurner tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates chtMultiRegionFoam's combustion capability
Support the following expansions when they occur at the start of a
string:
Short-form Equivalent
========= ===========
<etc>/ ~OpenFOAM/ (as per foamEtcFile)
<case>/ $FOAM_CASE/
<constant>/ $FOAM_CASE/constant/
<system>/ $FOAM_CASE/system/
These can be used in fileName expansions to improve clarity and reduce
some typing
"<constant>/reactions" vs "$FOAM_CASE/constant/reactions"
- list all regions from constant/regionProperties:
* foamListRegions
- list specific region type from constant/regionProperties:
* foamListRegions fluid
* foamListRegions solid
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.
- Instead of relying on #inputMode to effect a global change it is now
possible (and recommended) to a temporary change in the inputMode
for the following entry.
#default : provide default value if entry is not already defined
#overwrite : silently remove a previously existing entry
#warn : warn about duplicate entries
#error : error if any duplicate entries occur
#merge : merge sub-dictionaries when possible (the default mode)
This is generally less cumbersome than the switching the global
inputMode. For example to provide a set of fallback values.
#includeIfPresent "user-files"
...
#default value uniform 10;
vs.
#includeIfPresent "user-files"
#inputMode protect
...
value uniform 10;
#inputMode merge // _Assuming_ we actually had this before
These directives can also be used to suppress the normal dictionary
merge semantics:
#overwrite dict { entry val; ... }
- 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.
