To handle the additional optional specification for the closeness calculation
these settings are now is a sub-dictionary of surfaceFeaturesDict, e.g.
closeness
{
// Output the closeness of surface elements to other surface elements.
faceCloseness no;
// Output the closeness of surface points to other surface elements.
pointCloseness yes;
// Optional maximum angle between opposite points considered close
internalAngleTolerance 80;
externalAngleTolerance 80;
}
For complex geometries the calculation of surface face and point "closeness" can
be quite time consuming and usually only one or other is required; the new
options allow the user to specify which should be calculated and written.
which are now read directly from the thermophysicalProperties dictionary for
consistency with non-reacting mixture thermodynamics. The species thermo and
reactions lists can still be in separate files if convenient and included into
the thermophysicalProperties file using the standard dictionary #include.
With the inclusion of boundary layer modelling in the gas, the
separation of wave perturbation from and mean flow became less useful,
and potentially prevents further extension to support similar boundary
layer modelling in the liquid.
The mean velocity entry, UMean, is now needed in the
constant/waveProperties file rather than in the waveVelocity boundary
condition.
In order to increase the flexibility of the wave library, the mean flow
handling has been removed from the waveSuperposition class. This makes
waveSuperposition work purely in terms of perturbations to a mean
background flow.
The input has also been split, with waves now defined as region-wide
settings in constant/waveProperties. The mean flow parameters are sill
defined by the boundary conditions.
The new format of the velocity boundary is much simpler. Only a mean
flow velocity is required.
In 0/U:
boundaryField
{
inlet
{
type waveVelocity;
UMean (2 0 0);
}
// etc ...
}
Other wave boundary conditions have not changed.
The constant/waveProperties file contains the wave model selections and
the settings to define the associated coordinate system and scaling
functions:
In constant/waveProperties:
origin (0 0 0);
direction (1 0 0);
waves
(
Airy
{
length 300;
amplitude 2.5;
phase 0;
angle 0;
}
);
scale table ((1200 1) (1800 0));
crossScale constant 1;
setWaves has been changed to use a system/setWavesDict file rather than
relying on command-line arguments. It also now requires a mean velocity
to be specified in order to prevent ambiguities associated with multiple
inlet patches. An example is shown below:
In system/setWavesDict:
alpha alpha.water;
U U;
liquid true;
UMean (1 0 0);
