It is better to declare the namespace of each function in the C file
rather than "open" the namespace as this may lead to inconsistencies
between the declaration in the H files and definition in the C file.
fvOptions are transferred to the database on construction using
fv::options::New which returns a reference. The same function can be
use for construction and lookup so that fvOptions are now entirely
demand-driven.
The abstract base-classes for fvOptions now reside in the finiteVolume
library simplifying compilation and linkage. The concrete
implementations of fvOptions are still in the single monolithic
fvOptions library but in the future this will be separated into smaller
libraries based on application area which may be linked at run-time in
the same manner as functionObjects.
This is useful when applying an experimentally obtained profile as an
inlet condition:
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
myPatch
{
type fixedProfile;
profile csvFile;
profileCoeffs
{
nHeaderLine 0; // Number of header lines
refColumn 0; // Reference column index
componentColumns (1 2 3); // Component column indices
separator ","; // Optional (defaults to ",")
mergeSeparators no; // Merge multiple separators
fileName "Uprofile.csv"; // name of csv data file
outOfBounds clamp; // Optional out-of-bounds handling
interpolationScheme linear; // Optional interpolation scheme
}
direction (0 1 0);
origin 0;
}
\endverbatim
or a simple polynomial profile:
Example setting a parabolic inlet profile for the PitzDaily case:
\verbatim
inlet
{
type fixedProfile;
profile polynomial
(
((1 0 0) (0 0 0))
((-6200 0 0) (2 0 0))
);
direction (0 1 0);
origin 0.0127;
}
\endverbatim
Based on code provided by Hassan Kassem:

Now solvers return solver performance information for all components
with backward compatibility provided by the "max" function which created
the scalar solverPerformance from the maximum component residuals from
the SolverPerformance<Type>.
The residuals functionObject has been upgraded to support
SolverPerformance<Type> so that now the initial residuals for all
(valid) components are tabulated, e.g. for the cavity tutorial case the
residuals for p, Ux and Uy are listed vs time.
Currently the residualControl option of pimpleControl and simpleControl
is supported in backward compatibility mode (only the maximum component
residual is considered) but in the future this will be upgraded to
support convergence control for the components individually.
This development started from patches provided by Bruno Santos, See
http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1824
read in the construction from dictionary.
It is important that the initial value is obtained from the table
provided to avoid the user having to evaluate a consistent one or risk
the code crashing from a very sudden change in the value.
This resolves a whole range of issues and work-arounds with earlier
releases. This version of icpc is more or less compatible with the
latest gcc and clang compilers and only required one hack to avoid
warnings from PackedBoolList.H.
Added calls to setFluxRequired for p in all incompressible solvers which
avoids the need to add fluxRequired entries in fvSchemes dictionary.
Will add calls to setFluxRequired to the rest of the solvers.
This scheme is equivalent to the CoBlended scheme except that the Courant
number is evaluated for cells using the same approach as use in the
finite-volume solvers and then interpolated to the faces rather than being
estimated directly at the faces based on the flux. This is a more
consistent method for evaluating the Courant number but suffers from the
need to interpolate which introduces a degree of freedom. However, the
interpolation scheme for "Co" is run-time selected and may be specified in
"interpolationSchemes" and "localMax" might be most appropriate.
Example of the cellCoBlended scheme specification using LUST for Courant
numbers less than 1 and linearUpwind for Courant numbers greater than 10:
\verbatim
divSchemes
{
.
.
div(phi,U) Gauss cellCoBlended 1 LUST grad(U) 10 linearUpwind grad(U);
.
.
}
interpolationSchemes
{
.
.
interpolate(Co) localMax;
.
.
}
\endverbatim
LTS is selected by the ddt scheme e.g. in the
tutorials/multiphase/interFoam/ras/DTCHull case:
ddtSchemes
{
default localEuler rDeltaT;
}
LTSInterFoam is no longer needed now that interFoam includes LTS
support.
Use the trace as the limiter function for both symmTensor and tensor to
bound the normal stresses rather than the shear stresses.

fvOptions does not have the appropriate structure to support MRF as it
is based on option selection by user-specified fields whereas MRF MUST
be applied to all velocity fields in the particular solver. A
consequence of the particular design choices in fvOptions made it
difficult to support MRF for multiphase and it is easier to support
frame-related and field related options separately.
Currently the MRF functionality provided supports only rotations but
the structure will be generalized to support other frame motions
including linear acceleration, SRF rotation and 6DoF which will be
run-time selectable.
