The keyword 'select' is now used to specify the cell, face or point set
selection method consistently across all classes requiring this functionality.
'select' replaces the inconsistently named 'regionType' and 'selectionMode'
keywords used previously but backwards-compatibility is provided for user
convenience. All configuration files and tutorials have been updated.
Examples of 'select' from the tutorial cases:
functionObjects:
cellZoneAverage
{
type volFieldValue;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
writeControl writeTime;
writeInterval 1;
fields (p);
select cellZone;
cellZone injection;
operation volAverage;
writeFields false;
}
#includeFunc populationBalanceSizeDistribution
(
name=numberDensity,
populationBalance=aggregates,
select=cellZone,
cellZone=outlet,
functionType=numberDensity,
coordinateType=projectedAreaDiameter,
allCoordinates=yes,
normalise=yes,
logTransform=yes
)
fvModel:
cylinderHeat
{
type heatSource;
select all;
q 5e7;
}
fvConstraint:
momentumForce
{
type meanVelocityForce;
select all;
Ubar (0.1335 0 0);
}
so that it can now be used with either the isothermalFluid or fluid solver
modules, thus supporting non-uniform fluid properties, compressibility and
thermal effect. This development makes the special potentialFreeSurfaceFoam
solver redundant as both the isothermalFluid and fluid solver modules are more
general and has been removed and replaced with a user redirection script.
The tutorials/multiphase/potentialFreeSurfaceFoam cases have been updated to run
with the isothermalFluid solver module:
tutorials/multiphase/potentialFreeSurfaceFoam/oscillatingBox
tutorials/multiphase/potentialFreeSurfaceFoam/movingOscillatingBox
which demonstrate how to upgrade potentialFreeSurfaceFoam cases to
isothermalFluid.
