Avoids slight phase-fraction unboundedness at entertainment BCs and improved
robustness.
Additionally the phase-fractions in the multi-phase (rather than two-phase)
solvers are adjusted to avoid the slow growth of inconsistency ("drift") caused
by solving for all of the phase-fractions rather than deriving one from the
others.
e.g.
fieldMinMax fieldMinMax write:
min(T) = 291 in cell 255535 at location (-0.262546 -0.538933 1.00574) on processor 9
max(T) = 336.298 in cell 419031 at location (1.7468 0.758405 8.10989) on processor 1
min(mag(U)) = 0 in cell 14990 at location (-0.0824383 1.68479 1.5349) on processor 0
max(mag(U)) = 652.341 in cell 218284 at location (0.609849 0.167247 1.00091) on processor 12
New reactingFoam tutorial counterFlowFlame2DLTS_GRI_TDAC demonstrates this new
functionality.
Additionally the ISAT table growth algorithm has been further optimized
providing an overall speedup of between 15% and 38% for the tests run so far.
Updates to TDAC and ISAT provided by Francesco Contino.
Implementation updated and integrated into OpenFOAM-dev by
Henry G. Weller, CFD Direct Ltd with the help of Francesco Contino.

log true;

Previously both 'file' and 'fileName' were used inconsistently in different
classes and given that there is no confusion or ambiguity introduced by using
the simpler 'file' rather than 'fileName' this change simplifies the use and
maintenance of OpenFOAM.
e.g.
motorBike
{
type triSurfaceMesh;
file "motorBike.obj";
}

Combined 'dQ()' and 'Sh()' into 'Qdot()' which returns the heat-release rate in
the normal units [kg/m/s3] and used as the heat release rate source term in
the energy equations, to set the field 'Qdot' in several combustion solvers
and for the evaluation of the local time-step when running LTS.

which provided warning about backward-compatibility issue with setting div
schemes for steady-state. It caused confusion by generating incorrect warning
messages for compressible cases for which the 'bounded' should NOT be applied to
the 'div(phid,p)'.
e.g. the motion of two counter-rotating AMI regions could be defined:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh;
solvers
(
rotor1
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor1;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
rotor2
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor2;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega -6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
);
Any combination of motion solvers may be selected but there is no special
handling of motion interaction; the motions are applied sequentially and
potentially cumulatively.
To support this new general framework the solidBodyMotionFvMesh and
multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh dynamicFvMeshes have been converted into the
corresponding motionSolvers solidBody and multiSolidBody and the tutorials
updated to reflect this change e.g. the motion in the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial
is now defined thus:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
solver solidBody;
solidBodyCoeffs
{
cellZone rotor;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
to avoid duplicate instantiation of the thermodynamics package.
The 'zoneCombustion' model is now selected in constant/combustionProperties by
either
combustionModel zoneCombustion<psiCombustionModel>;
or
combustionModel zoneCombustion<rhoCombustionModel>;
as appropriate.

- provides support for manipulating polyMesh/boundary
- changed behaviour of disableFunctionEntries option to preserve
#include
- dictionary: added reading of lists of dictionaries.
+ each list element may be accessed using the 'entryDDD' keyword
according to their list index.

cellZones and pointZones can now be created in one action without the
need to first create a cellSet or pointSet and converting that to the
corresponding zone, e.g.
actions
(
// Example: create cellZone from a box region
{
name c0;
type cellZoneSet;
action new;
source boxToCell;
sourceInfo
{
box (0.04 0 0)(0.06 100 100);
}
}
);
