phaseSystemModels function objects are relocated within
functionObjects in order to enable broader usage.
ENH: multiphaseInterHtcModel: new heatTransferCoeff function object model
COMP: createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry: add new dependencies
COMP: alphaContactAngle: avoid duplicate entries between multiphaseEuler and reactingEuler
TUT: damBreak4Phase: rename alphaContactAngle as multiphaseEuler::alphaContactAngle
thermoTools is a relocation of various existing tools:

- src/semiPermeableBaffle/derivedFvPatchFields/
- src/thermophysicalModels/thermophysicalPropertiesFvPatchFields/liquidProperties/
ENH: Allwmake: reordering various compilation steps
Co-authored-by: Kutalmis Bercin <kutalmis.bercin@esi-group.com>
- this allows the "relocation" of sampled surfaces. For example,
to reposition into a different coordinate system for importing
into CAD.
- incorporate output scaling for all surface writer types.
This was previously done on an adhoc basis for different writers,
but with now included in the base-level so that all writers
can automatically use scale + transform.
Example:
formatOptions
{
vtk
{
scale 1000; // m -> mm
transform
{
origin (0.05 0 0);
rotation axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle -45;
}
}
}
in cases with more than one primal or adjoint solvers
TUT: removed all occurances of useSolverNameForFields
from the optimisation tutorials since it is now set
automatically.
- update the area-centres processor/processor information as part of
faMesh::init() after all of the global data and geometry data is
setup.
- improve flattenEdgeField helper to properly handle empty patches.
This change removes the false fails when testing edge-centre
redistribution (FULLDEBUG mode).
TUT: add filmPanel (rivulet) tutorial
- include constant/faMesh cleanup (cleanFaMesh) as part of standard
cleanCase
- simplify cleanPolyMesh function to now just warn about old
constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict but not try to remove anything
- cleanup cellDist.vtu (decomposePar -dry-run) as well
ENH: foamRunTutorials - fallback to Allrun-parallel, Allrun-serial
TUT: call m4 with file argument instead of redirected stdin
TUT: adjust suffixes on decomposeParDict variants
- 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.
- can be more intuitive to specify for some cases:
rotation
{
type euler;
order rollPitchYaw;
angles (0 20 45);
}
- refactor starcd rotation to reuse Euler ZXY ordering
(code reduction)
ENH: add -rotate-x, -rotate-y, -rotate-z for transformPoints etc
- easier to specify for simple rotations
- ensightWrite, vtkWrite, fv::cellSetOption
ENH: additional topoSet "ignore" action
- this no-op can be used to skip an action step, instead of removing
the entire entry
- this allows more flexibility when defining the location or intensity
of sources.
For example,
{
type scalarSemiImplicitSource;
volumeMode specific;
selectionMode all;
sources
{
tracer0
{
explicit
{
type exprField;
functions<scalar>
{
square
{
type square;
scale 0.0025;
level 0.0025;
frequency 10;
}
}
expression
#{
(hypot(pos().x() + 0.025, pos().y()) < 0.01)
? fn:square(time())
: 0
#};
}
}
}
}
ENH: SemiImplicitSource: handle "sources" with explicit/implicit entries
- essentially the same as injectionRateSuSp with Su/Sp,
but potentially clearer in purpose.
ENH: add Function1 good() method to define if function can be evaluated
- for example, provides a programmatic means of avoiding the 'none'
function
- similar to the geometric decomposition constraint,
allows a compositing selection of cells based on topoSet sources
which also include various searchableSurface mechanisms.
This makes for potentially easier placement of sources without
resorting to defining a cellSet.
ENH: support zone group selection for fv::cellSetOption and fa::faceSetOption
Reports cloud information for particles passing through a specified cell
zone.
Example usage:
cloudFunctions
{
particleZoneInfo1
{
type particleZoneInfo;
cellZone leftFluid;
// Optional entries
//writer vtk;
}
}
Results are written to file:
- \<case\>/postProcessing/lagrangian/\<cloudName\>/\<functionName\>/\<time\>
\# cellZone : leftFluid
\# time : 1.0000000000e+00
\#
\# origID origProc (x y z) time0 age d0 d mass0 mass
Where
- origID : particle ID
- origProc : processor ID
- (x y z) : Cartesian co-ordinates
- time0 : time particle enters the cellZone
- age : time spent in the cellZone
- d0 : diameter on entry to the cellZone
- d : current diameter
- mass0 : mass on entry to the cellZone
- mass : current mass
If the optional \c writer entry is supplied, cloud data is written in the
specified format.
During the run, output statistics are reported after the cloud solution,
e.g.:
particleZoneInfo:
Cell zone = leftFluid
Contributions = 257
Here, 'Contributions' refers to the number of incremental particle-move
contributions recorded during this time step. At write times, the output
is extended, e.g.:
particleZoneInfo:
Cell zone = leftFluid
Contributions = 822
Number of particles = 199
Written data to "postProcessing/lagrangian/reactingCloud1/
TUT: filter: add an example for the particleZoneInfo function object
- 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
Two problems:
- flipping inside snappyHexMesh is not done in a parallel
consistent way. So e.g. the octree-cached inside/outside information
has already been calculated. For now flipping of
distributedTriSurfaceMesh is disabled.
- octree-cached inside/outside information was using already
cached information and would only work for outwards pointing
volumes
- can now specify sampled sets as dictionary entries instead of a list
entry.
can now use: sets { ... }
instead of: sets ( ... );
This is similar to sampled surfaces and makes it easier to
manage with dictionary manipulation tools.
TUT: update to use writeTime instead of outputTime
Automatic hole closure:
- introduces 'holeToFace' topoSet source
- used when detecting a 'leak-path'
- creates additional baffles to close the leak
Multi-stage layer addition:
- Can add layers in multiple passes
See issues: #2403, #2404
- the internal data are contiguous so can broadcast size and internals
directly without an intermediate stream.
ENH: split out broadcast time for profilingPstream information
STYLE: minor Pstream cleanup
- UPstream::commsType_ from protected to private, since it already has
inlined noexcept getters/setters that should be used.
- don't pass unused/unneed tag into low-level MPI reduction templates.
Document where tags are not needed
- had Pstream::broadcast instead of UPstream::broadcast in internals
- now largely encapsulated using PstreamBuffers methods,
which makes it simpler to centralize and maintain
- avoid building intermediate structures when sending data,
remove unused methods/data
TUT: parallel version of depthCharge2D
STYLE: minor update in ProcessorTopology
- this can be used to apply a uniform field level to remove from
a sampled field. For example,
fieldLevel
{
"p.*" 1e5; // Absolute -> gauge [Pa]
T 273.15; // [K] -> [C]
U #eval{ 10/sqrt(3) }; // Uniform mag(U)=10
}
After the fieldLevel has been removed, any fieldScale is applied.
For example
fieldScale
{
"p.*" 0.01; // [Pa] -> [mbar]
}
The fieldLevel for vector and tensor fields may still need some
further refinement.
- when used with *any* alphaField and normalised (the usual case)
would largely give a 0-1 corresponding to the min/max of the first
component, but could also yield negative values.
- if the alpha field corresponds identically to colour field, it is
readily possible to combine as into RGBA sequences. However, if the
fields are different it potentially means referencing an opacity
field that has not yet been sampled. This impedes using the format
for a streaming sampler without additional overhead and/or rewriting
the alpha channel later.
- supports sampling/probing of values to obtain min/max/average/size
at execution intervals without writing any output or generating
output directories.
- 'verbose' option for additional output
The parcel initial velocity can now be set using the new `velocityType`
entry, taking one of the following options:
- fixedValue : (default) same as earlier versions, requires U0
- patchValue : velocity set to seed patch face value
- zeroGradient : velocity set to seed patch face adjacent cell value
Example usage:
model1
{
type patchInjection;
massTotal 1;
SOI 0;
parcelBasisType mass;
patch cylinder;
duration 10;
parcelsPerSecond 100;
velocityType patchValue;
//velocityType zeroGradient;
//U0 (-10 0 0);
flowRateProfile constant 1;
sizeDistribution
{
type normal;
normalDistribution
{
expectation 1e-3;
variance 1e-4;
minValue 1e-5;
maxValue 2e-3;
}
}
}
See the new $FOAM_TUTORIALS/lagrangian/kinematicParcelFoam/spinningDisk tutorial
The turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMixed boundary condition
has been superseded by the turbulentTemperatureRadCoupledMixed condition
TUT: injectorPipe: remove an unused entry
TUT: waveMakerFlap: remove uncompressed entry
- provides a simple means of defining/modifying fields. For example,
```
<name1>
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
field pTotal;
expression "p + 0.5*(rho*magSqr(U))";
dimensions [ Pa ];
}
```
It is is also possible to modify an existing field.
For example, to modify the previous one.
```
<name2>
{
type exprField;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
field pTotal;
action modify;
// Static pressure only in these regions
fieldMask
#{
(mag(pos()) < 0.05) && (pos().y() > 0)
|| cellZone(inlet)
#};
expression "p";
}
```
To use as a simple post-process calculator, simply avoid storing the
result and only generate on write:
```
<name2>
{
store false;
executionControl none;
writeControl writeTime;
...
}
```
- literal lookups only for expression strings
- code reduction for setExprFields.
- changed keyword "condition" to "fieldMask" (option -field-mask).
This is a better description of its purpose and avoids possible
naming ambiguities with functionObject triggers (for example)
if we apply similar syntax elsewhere.
BUG: erroneous check in volumeExpr::parseDriver::isResultType()
- not triggered since this method is not used anywhere
(may remove in future version)
- 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
}
}
```
