The deprecated non-const tmp functionality is now on the compiler switch
NON_CONST_TMP which can be enabled by adding -DNON_CONST_TMP to EXE_INC
in the Make/options file. However, it is recommended to upgrade all
code to the new safer tmp by using the '.ref()' member function rather
than the non-const '()' dereference operator when non-const access to
the temporary object is required.
Please report any problems on Mantis.

in case of tmp misuse.
Simplified tmp reuse pattern in field algebra to use tmp copy and
assignment rather than the complex delayed call to 'ptr()'.
Removed support for unused non-const 'REF' storage of non-tmp objects due to C++
limitation in constructor overloading: if both tmp(T&) and tmp(const T&)
constructors are provided resolution is ambiguous.
The turbulence libraries have been upgraded and '-DCONST_TMP' option
specified in the 'options' file to switch to the new 'tmp' behavior.
This change requires that the de-reference operator '()' returns a
const-reference to the object stored irrespective of the const-ness of
object stored and the new member function 'ref()' is provided to return
an non-const reference to stored object which throws a fatal error if the
stored object is const.
In order to smooth the transition to this new safer 'tmp' the now
deprecated and unsafe non-const de-reference operator '()' is still
provided by default but may be switched-off with the compilation switch
'CONST_TMP'.
The main OpenFOAM library has already been upgraded and '-DCONST_TMP'
option specified in the 'options' file to switch to the new 'tmp'
behavior. The rest of OpenFOAM-dev will be upgraded over the following
few weeks.

To be used instead of zeroGradientFvPatchField for temporary fields for
which zero-gradient extrapolation is use to evaluate the boundary field
but avoiding fields derived from temporary field using field algebra
inheriting the zeroGradient boundary condition by the reuse of the
temporary field storage.
zeroGradientFvPatchField should not be used as the default patch field
for any temporary fields and should be avoided for non-temporary fields
except where it is clearly appropriate;
extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField and calculatedFvPatchField are
generally more suitable defaults depending on the manner in which the
boundary values are specified or evaluated.
The entire OpenFOAM-dev code-base has been updated following the above
recommendations.

The boundary conditions of HbyA are now constrained by the new "constrainHbyA"
function which applies the velocity boundary values for patches for which the
velocity cannot be modified by assignment and pressure extrapolation is
not specified via the new
"fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressureFvPatchScalarField".
The new function "constrainPressure" sets the pressure gradient
appropriately for "fixedFluxPressureFvPatchScalarField" and
"fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressureFvPatchScalarField" boundary conditions to
ensure the evaluated flux corresponds to the known velocity values at
the boundary.
The "fixedFluxPressureFvPatchScalarField" boundary condition operates
exactly as before, ensuring the correct flux at fixed-flux boundaries by
compensating for the body forces (gravity in particular) with the
pressure gradient.
The new "fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressureFvPatchScalarField" boundary
condition may be used for cases with or without body-forces to set the
pressure gradient to compensate not only for the body-force but also the
extrapolated "HbyA" which provides a second-order boundary condition for
pressure. This is useful for a range a problems including impinging
flow, extrapolated inlet conditions with body-forces or for highly
viscous flows, pressure-induced separation etc. To test this boundary
condition at walls in the motorBike tutorial case set
lowerWall
{
type fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressure;
}
motorBikeGroup
{
type fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressure;
}
Currently the new extrapolated pressure boundary condition is supported
for all incompressible and sub-sonic compressible solvers except those
providing implicit and tensorial porosity support. The approach will be
extended to cover these solvers and options in the future.
Note: the extrapolated pressure boundary condition is experimental and
requires further testing to assess the range of applicability,
stability, accuracy etc.

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.

Intended to be used with copiedFixedValue to ensure that phase wall
temperature are consistent:
- Set 'fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux' boundary for one of the phases
- Use 'copiedFixedValue' for all the other phases.

New lift model supporting near-wall damping using the new
wallDampingModels.
e.g.
lift
(
(air in water)
{
type wallDamped;
lift
{
type constantCoefficient;
Cl 0.5;
}
wallDamping
{
type linear;
Cd 0.5;
}
}
);
in which a linear near-wall damping function min(y/(Cd*d), 1) is applied to the constant
coefficient lift model. Additional wall-damping functions will be added.
to allow iteration over the energy equations to improve stability for phase-change.
Additionally if nEnergyCorrectors is set to 0 the energy equations are
not solved which may be beneficial during the startup of some cases.
