Settings for the particleTracks utility are now specified in
system/particleTracksDict. Correspondingly, settings for
steadyParticleTracks are now specified in
system/steadyParticleTracksDict.
The -dict option is now handled correctly and consistently across all
applications with -dict options. The logic associated with doing so has
been centralised.
If a relative path is given to the -dict option, then it is assumed to
be relative to the case directory. If an absolute path is given, then it
is used without reference to the case directory. In both cases, if the
path is found to be a directory, then the standard dictionary name is
appended to the path.

The patchType override logic has been simplified and made consistent
between fv, fvs and point patch fields. The "constraintType" attribute
has been removed from point fields as it was not being used.
This change fixes failures that occur with the mapping of fields with
patchType overrides. It fixes a crash that previously occurred when
redistributing patch fields with patchType overrides. It also makes
decomposition correctly maintain patchType overrides on cyclics when
those cyclics are separated and become processorCyclics.
These fixes have been achieved by removing the patchType override data
from the fv and point patches. Whether or not the field overrides the
underlying patchType constraint is now determined on the fly from the
patch and field names and what is available on the field run-time
selection table.
This is the 2006 version of Wilcox's k-omega RAS turbulence model which has some
similarities in formulation and behaviour to the k-omega-SST model but is much
simpler and cleaner. This model is likely to perform just as well as the
k-omega-SST model for a wide range of engineering cases.
Description
Standard (2006) high Reynolds-number k-omega turbulence model for
incompressible and compressible flows.

The generation script has also been modified slightly to prevent empty
entries being generated for scripts with no options; e.g., the scripts
in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin that report a change in application name
splitBaffles identifies baffle faces; i.e., faces on the mesh boundary
which share the exact same set of points as another boundary face. It
then splits the points to convert these faces into completely separate
boundary patches. This functionality was previously provided by calling
mergeOrSplitBaffles with the "-split" option.
mergeBaffles also identifes the duplicate baffle faces, but then merges
them, converting them into a single set of internal faces. This
functionality was previously provided by calling mergeOrSplitBaffles
without the "-split" option.
Correct mesh redistribution requires that both the polyMesh AND fvMesh are
updated correctly, i.e. all cached topology and geometry are mapped.
Currently field redistribution is handled by fvMeshDistribute but should be
moved into fvMesh::updateMesh(const mapDistributePolyMesh& mdpm). Also in the
future all other classes with a updateMesh(const mapPolyMesh& mpm) function will
need a updateMesh(const mapDistributePolyMesh& mdpm), e.g. fvModels, Lagrangian
etc. and the interface propagated through MeshObject so that the mesh can ensure
everything is updated correctly.
When using 'simple' or 'hierarchical' decomposition it is useful to slightly rotate a
coordinate-aligned block-mesh to improve the processor boundaries by avoiding
irregular cell distribution at those boundaries. The degree of slight rotation
is controlled by the 'delta' coefficient and a value of 0.001 is generally
suitable so to avoid unnecessary clutter in 'decomposeParDict' 'delta' now
defaults to this value.
The new algorithm provides robust quality triangulations of non-convex
polygons. It also produces a best attempt for polygons that are badly
warped or self intersecting by minimising the area in which the local
normal is in the opposite direction to the overal polygon normal. It is
memory efficient when applied to multiple polygons as it maintains and
reuses its workspace.
This algorithm replaces implementations in the face and
faceTriangulation classes, which have been removed.
Faces can no longer be decomposed into mixtures of tris and
quadrilaterals. Polygonal faces with more than 4 sides are now
decomposed into triangles in foamToVTK and in paraFoam.
The FOAM file format has not changed from version 2.0 in many years and so there
is no longer a need for the 'version' entry in the FoamFile header to be
required and to reduce unnecessary clutter it is now optional, defaulting to the
current file format 2.0.
Solving for enthalpy provides better convergence and stability than internal
energy. Also correctPhi is now off pending the addition of compressibility
effects to the pcorr equation.
to differentiate between flux field which require face-flipping and
non-extensive surface fields which do not. Currently flux fields are
distinguished by being surfaceScalarField with dimensions of either volumetric
or mass flux.
This change corrects the handling of the surfaceVectorField Uf which was
previously mapped incorrectly on faces requiring the flipping of the flux
orientation.
for example
cellZoneInside inside;
becomes
mode inside;
in snappyHexMeshDict
Support for the previous name 'cellZoneInside' is maintained for backward
compatibility.
The writer class has been renamed setWriter in order to clarify its
usage. The coordSet and setWriter classes have been moved into the
sampling library, as this fits their usage.
The new write functions are currently being utilised by setSet and the
vtkSurfaceWriter, but it should eventually be possible for more examples
of VTK poly data writing to be converted to use these functions.
