Existing case did not properly converge and suffered slow convergence
with the water level failing to reach an equilibrium. A slight rise in
the channel appears to help the water level reach an equlibrium when the flow
rate over the rise matches the inlet flow rate.
Description
Specify an etc file to include when reading dictionaries, expects a
single string to follow.
Searches for files from user/group/shipped directories.
The search scheme allows for version-specific and
version-independent files using the following hierarchy:
- \b user settings:
- ~/.OpenFOAM/\<VERSION\>
- ~/.OpenFOAM/
- \b group (site) settings (when $WM_PROJECT_SITE is set):
- $WM_PROJECT_SITE/\<VERSION\>
- $WM_PROJECT_SITE
- \b group (site) settings (when $WM_PROJECT_SITE is not set):
- $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site/\<VERSION\>
- $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site/
- \b other (shipped) settings:
- $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/
An example of the \c \#includeEtc directive:
\verbatim
#includeEtc "etcFile"
\endverbatim
The usual expansion of environment variables and other constructs is
retained.
Previous behavior which may be useful for moving-mesh cases can be
selected using the optional entry:
writeTotalArea yes;
The initial total area is written in the log and data file header e.g.:
# Source : faceZone f0
# Faces : 8
# Area : 1.063860e-02
This is an experimental feature demonstrating the potential of MULES to
create bounded solution which are 2nd-order in time AND space.
Crank-Nicolson may be selected on U and/or alpha but will only be fully
2nd-order if used on both within the PIMPLE-loop to converge the
interaction between the flux and phase-fraction. Note also that
Crank-Nicolson may not be used with sub-cycling but all the features of
semi-implicit MULES are available in particular MULESCorr and
alphaApplyPrevCorr.
Examples of ddt specification:
ddtSchemes
{
default Euler;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default CrankNicolson 0.9;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(alpha) CrankNicolson 0.9;
ddt(rho,U) CrankNicolson 0.9;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(alpha) Euler;
ddt(rho,U) CrankNicolson 0.9;
}
ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(alpha) CrankNicolson 0.9;
ddt(rho,U) Euler;
}
In these examples a small amount of off-centering in used to stabilize
the Crank-Nicolson scheme. Also the specification for alpha1 is via the
generic phase-fraction name to ensure in multiphase solvers (when
Crank-Nicolson support is added) the scheme is identical for all phase
fractions.
This development is back-ported from OpenFOAM-dev:

During restart correct phi would need the dilatation from the previous time-step.
Alternative is to run potentialFoam on 0 fields to initialise phi.
