Function1 is an abstract base-class of run-time selectable unary
functions which may be composed of other Function1's allowing the user
to specify complex functions of a single scalar variable, e.g. time.
The implementations need not be a simple or continuous functions;
interpolated tables and polynomials are also supported. In fact form of
mapping between a single scalar input and a single primitive type output
is supportable.
The primary application of Function1 is in time-varying boundary
conditions, it also used for other functions of time, e.g. injected mass
is spray simulations but is not limited to functions of time.
Evaluates the contact angle as a function of the optionally specified
temperature field (defaults to T). The "theta0" function is provided as
a DataEntry currently supporting:
CompatibilityConstant
constant
csvFile
polynomial
table
tableFile
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.
Note that currently when transportProperties is changed sigma is re-read
from this dictionary but cAlpha is read from fvSolution but cAlpha is
not re-read when fvSolution is changed but transportProperties is not
touched. To avoid this problem cAlpha would need to be moved to the
transportProperties dictionary which is not ideal or moved out of the
interfaceProperties class back to the top-level solver.
