- generalize some of the library extensions (.so vs .dylib).
Provide as wmake 'sysFunctions'
- added note about unsupported/incomplete system support
- centralize detection of ThirdParty packages into wmake/ subdirectory
by providing a series of scripts in the spirit of GNU autoconfig.
For example,
have_boost, have_readline, have_scotch, ...
Each of the `have_<package>` scripts will generally provide the
following type of functions:
have_<package> # detection
no_<package> # reset
echo_<package> # echoing
and the following type of variables:
HAVE_<package> # unset or 'true'
<package>_ARCH_PATH # root for <package>
<package>_INC_DIR # include directory for <package>
<package>_LIB_DIR # library directory for <package>
This simplifies the calling scripts:
if have_metis
then
wmake metisDecomp
fi
As well as reducing clutter in the corresponding Make/options:
EXE_INC = \
-I$(METIS_INC_DIR) \
-I../decompositionMethods/lnInclude
LIB_LIBS = \
-L$(METIS_LIB_DIR) -lmetis
Any additional modifications (platform-specific or for an external build
system) can now be made centrally.
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
- in many cases can just use lookupOrDefault("key", bool) instead of
lookupOrDefault<bool> or lookupOrDefault<Switch> since reading a
bool from an Istream uses the Switch(Istream&) anyhow
STYLE: relocated Switch string names into file-local scope
slip
The old behaviour assumed that the no-slip value was zero. This has
been extended to enable the user to supply a refValue - the value at
zero slip.
This was similar to the mixedFixedValueSlipFvPatchField behaviour in the
rhoCentralFoam library - now deprecated in favour of the templated
partialSlip version.

Adds overset discretisation to selected physics:
- diffusion : overLaplacianDyMFoam
- incompressible steady : overSimpleFoam
- incompressible transient : overPimpleDyMFoam
- compressible transient: overRhoPimpleDyMFoam
- two-phase VOF: overInterDyMFoam
The overset method chosen is a parallel, fully implicit implementation
whereby the interpolation (from donor to acceptor) is inserted as an
adapted discretisation on the donor cells, such that the resulting matrix
can be solved using the standard linear solvers.
Above solvers come with a set of tutorials, showing how to create and set-up
simple simulations from scratch.
This is important when LTS stepping or large Co number is used.
Updating rhoBuoyantPimpleFoam to handle closed domain for rho thermo and incompressible Eos.
Consolidating chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam and chtMultiRegionFoam pEqs to use the same formulation as rhoBuoyantPimpleFoam and
rhoBuoyantSimpleFoam
Both stardard SIMPLE and the SIMPLEC (using the 'consistent' option in
fvSolution) are now supported for both subsonic and transonic flow of all
fluid types.
rhoPimpleFoam now instantiates the lower-level fluidThermo which instantiates
either a psiThermo or rhoThermo according to the 'type' specification in
thermophysicalProperties, see also commit a1c8cde310
Both stardard SIMPLE and the SIMPLEC (using the 'consistent' option in
fvSolution) are now supported for both subsonic and transonic flow of all
fluid types.
rhoSimpleFoam now instantiates the lower-level fluidThermo which instantiates
either a psiThermo or rhoThermo according to the 'type' specification in
thermophysicalProperties, e.g.
thermoType
{
type hePsiThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
transport sutherland;
thermo janaf;
equationOfState perfectGas;
specie specie;
energy sensibleInternalEnergy;
}
instantiates a psiThermo for a perfect gas with JANAF thermodynamics, whereas
thermoType
{
type heRhoThermo;
mixture pureMixture;
properties liquid;
energy sensibleInternalEnergy;
}
mixture
{
H2O;
}
instantiates a rhoThermo for water, see new tutorial
compressible/rhoSimpleFoam/squareBendLiq.
In order to support complex equations of state the pressure can no longer be
unlimited and rhoSimpleFoam now limits the pressure rather than the density to
handle start-up more robustly.
For backward compatibility 'rhoMin' and 'rhoMax' can still be used in the SIMPLE
sub-dictionary of fvSolution which are converted into 'pMax' and 'pMin' but it
is better to set either 'pMax' and 'pMin' directly or use the more convenient
'pMinFactor' and 'pMinFactor' from which 'pMax' and 'pMin' are calculated using
the fixed boundary pressure or reference pressure e.g.
SIMPLE
{
nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
pMinFactor 0.1;
pMaxFactor 1.5;
transonic yes;
consistent yes;
residualControl
{
p 1e-3;
U 1e-4;
e 1e-3;
"(k|epsilon|omega)" 1e-3;
}
}
The fundamental properties provided by the specie class hierarchy were
mole-based, i.e. provide the properties per mole whereas the fundamental
properties provided by the liquidProperties and solidProperties classes are
mass-based, i.e. per unit mass. This inconsistency made it impossible to
instantiate the thermodynamics packages (rhoThermo, psiThermo) used by the FV
transport solvers on liquidProperties. In order to combine VoF with film and/or
Lagrangian models it is essential that the physical propertied of the three
representations of the liquid are consistent which means that it is necessary to
instantiate the thermodynamics packages on liquidProperties. This requires
either liquidProperties to be rewritten mole-based or the specie classes to be
rewritten mass-based. Given that most of OpenFOAM solvers operate
mass-based (solve for mass-fractions and provide mass-fractions to sub-models it
is more consistent and efficient if the low-level thermodynamics is also
mass-based.
This commit includes all of the changes necessary for all of the thermodynamics
in OpenFOAM to operate mass-based and supports the instantiation of
thermodynamics packages on liquidProperties.
Note that most users, developers and contributors to OpenFOAM will not notice
any difference in the operation of the code except that the confusing
nMoles 1;
entries in the thermophysicalProperties files are no longer needed or used and
have been removed in this commet. The only substantial change to the internals
is that species thermodynamics are now "mixed" with mass rather than mole
fractions. This is more convenient except for defining reaction equilibrium
thermodynamics for which the molar rather than mass composition is usually know.
The consequence of this can be seen in the adiabaticFlameT, equilibriumCO and
equilibriumFlameT utilities in which the species thermodynamics are
pre-multiplied by their molecular mass to effectively convert them to mole-basis
to simplify the definition of the reaction equilibrium thermodynamics, e.g. in
equilibriumCO
// Reactants (mole-based)
thermo FUEL(thermoData.subDict(fuelName)); FUEL *= FUEL.W();
// Oxidant (mole-based)
thermo O2(thermoData.subDict("O2")); O2 *= O2.W();
thermo N2(thermoData.subDict("N2")); N2 *= N2.W();
// Intermediates (mole-based)
thermo H2(thermoData.subDict("H2")); H2 *= H2.W();
// Products (mole-based)
thermo CO2(thermoData.subDict("CO2")); CO2 *= CO2.W();
thermo H2O(thermoData.subDict("H2O")); H2O *= H2O.W();
thermo CO(thermoData.subDict("CO")); CO *= CO.W();
// Product dissociation reactions
thermo CO2BreakUp
(
CO2 == CO + 0.5*O2
);
thermo H2OBreakUp
(
H2O == H2 + 0.5*O2
);
