723f522c51 cutPoly: New polyhedral cutting routines and isoSurface algorithm
A set of routines for cutting polyhedra have been added. These can cut
polyhedral cells based on the adjacent point values and an iso-value
which defines the surface. The method operates directly on the
polyhedral cells; it does not decompose them into tetrahedra at any
point. The routines can compute the cut topology as well as integrals of
properties above and below the cut surface.

An iso-surface algorithm has been added based on these polyhedral
cutting routines. It is significantly more robust than the previous
algorithm, and produces compact surfaces equivalent to the previous
algorithm's maximum filtering level. It is also approximately 3 times
faster than the previous algorithm, and 10 times faster when run
repeatedly on the same set of cells (this is because some addressing is
cached and reused).

This algorithm is used by the 'isoSurface', 'distanceSurface' and
'cutPlane' sampled surfaces.

The 'cutPlane' sampled surface is a renaming of 'cuttingPlane' to make
it consistent with the corresponding packaged function. The name
'cuttingPlane' has been retained for backwards compatibility and can
still be used to select a 'cutPlane' surface. The legacy 'plane' surface
has been removed.

The 'average' keyword has been removed from specification of these
sampled surfaces as cell-centred values are no longer used in the
generation of or interpolation to an iso-surface. The 'filtering'
keyword has also been removed as it relates to options within the
previous algorithm. Zone support has been reinstated into the
'isoSurface' sampled surface. Interpolation to all these sampled
surfaces has been corrected to exactly match the user-selected
interpolation scheme, and the interpolation procedure no longer
unnecessarily re-generates data that is already available.

2da5edec29 Function1s::omega: New user convenience class to handle the input of time-varying rotational speed
Description
    User convenience class to handle the input of time-varying rotational speed
    in rad/s if \c omega is specified or rpm if \c rpm is specified.

Usage
    For specifying the rotational speed in rpm of an MRF zone:
    \verbatim
        MRF
        {
            cellZone    rotor;

            origin     (0 0 0);
            axis       (0 0 1);

            rpm        60;
        }
    \endverbatim
    or the equivalent specified in rad/s:
    \verbatim
        MRF
        {
            cellZone    rotor;

            origin     (0 0 0);
            axis       (0 0 1);

            rpm        6.28319;
        }
    \endverbatim
    or for a tabulated ramped rotational speed of a solid body:
    \verbatim
        mover
        {
            type            motionSolver;

            libs            ("libfvMeshMovers.so" "libfvMotionSolvers.so");

            motionSolver    solidBody;

            cellZone        innerCylinder;

            solidBodyMotionFunction  rotatingMotion;

            origin      (0 0 0);
            axis        (0 1 0);

            rpm         table
            (
                (0    0)
                (0.01  6000)
                (0.022  6000)
                (0.03  4000)
                (100   4000)
            );
        }
    \endverbatim

The following classes have been updated to use the new Function1s::omega class:
    solidBodyMotionFunctions::rotatingMotion
    MRFZone
    rotatingPressureInletOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField
    rotatingTotalPressureFvPatchScalarField
    rotatingWallVelocityFvPatchVectorField

and all tutorials using these models and BCs updated to use rpm where appropriate.

ca89189ecd solvers::incompressibleFluid: New solver module for incompressible fluid flow
executed with foamRun for single region simulations of foamMultiRun for
multi-region simulations.  Replaces pimpleFoam, pisoFoam and simpleFoam and all
the corresponding tutorials have been updated and moved to
tutorials/modules/incompressibleFluid.

Class
    Foam::solvers::incompressibleFluid

Description
    Solver module for steady or transient turbulent flow of incompressible
    isothermal fluids with optional mesh motion and change.

    Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
    pseudo-transient and steady simulations.

    Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
    in many ways including adding various sources, constraining or limiting
    the solution.
