This completes commit 381e0921 and permits patches on the "top" of
extruded regions to determine the point locations opposite as well as
the face centres and areas. This means that patches with dissimilar
meshes can now be coupled via the patchToPatch interpolation engine.
A few fixes have also been applied to extrudeToRegionMesh to make the
intrude option compatibile with extrusion into internal faces and
between opposing zones/sets/patches. The 'shadow' entries used for
extrusion inbetween opposing zones/sets/patches have also been renamed
to 'opposite' for consistency with the patch names and patch types
entries; e.g.,
faceZones (fz1 fz3);
oppositeFaceZones (fz2 fz4); // <-- was 'faceZonesShadow'
faceSets (fs1 fs3);
oppositeFaceSets (fs2 fs4); // <-- was 'faceSetsShadow'
patches (p1 p3);
oppositePatches (p2 p4); // <-- was 'patchesShadow'
With the new film implementation the single cell layer film region is extruded
into (overlapping with) the primary/fluid region which can now be generated with
extrudeToRegionMesh using the new 'intrude' option, e.g. for the
tutorials/modules/multiRegion/film/splashPanel case the extrudeToRegionMeshDict
contains:
region film;
patches (film);
extrudeModel linearNormal;
intrude yes;
adaptMesh no;
patchTypes (mappedExtrudedWall);
patchNames (film);
regionPatchTypes (filmWall);
regionPatchNames (wall);
regionOppositePatchTypes (mappedFilmSurface);
regionOppositePatchNames (surface);
nLayers 1;
expansionRatio 1;
linearNormalCoeffs
{
thickness 0.002;
}
The parcel transfer occurs from the cloudFilmTransfer surfaceFilmModel specified
in the <fluid> region constant/<fluid>/cloudProperties dictionary:
.
.
.
libs ("libfilmCloudTransfer.so");
.
.
.
surfaceFilmModel cloudFilmTransfer;
and the film filmCloudTransfer specified in the <film> region
constant/<film>/fvModels dictionary:
.
.
.
filmCloudTransfer
{
type filmCloudTransfer;
libs ("libfilmCloudTransfer.so");
}
For an example of cloud->film->VoF transfer see the
tutorials/modules/multiRegion/film/cylinder tutorial case.
Note that parcel transfer from film to Lagrangian cloud is not yet supported,
this will be added soon.
