TableBase, TableFile and Table now combined into a single simpler Table class
which handle both the reading of embedded and file data using the generalised
TableReader. The new EmbeddedTableReader handles the embedded data reading
providing the functionality of the original Table class within the same
structure that can read the data from separate files.
The input format defaults to 'embedded' unless the 'file' entry is present and
the Table class is added to the run-time selection table under the name 'table'
and 'tableFile' which provides complete backward comparability. However it is
advisable to migrate cases to use the new 'table' entry and all tutorial cases
have been updated.
and renamed defaultSpecie as its mass fraction is derived from the sum of the
mass fractions of all other species and it need not be inert but must be present
everywhere, e.g. N2 in air/fuel combustion which can be involved in the
production of NOx.
The previous name inertSpecie in thermophysicalProperties is supported for
backward compatibility.
This tutorial demonstrates the use of the population balance modeling
capability of multiphaseEulerFoam for the case of a vertical pipe. It
superseeds all bubbleColumnPolydisperse cases, which have been removed.

foamDictionary executions are now wrapped by runApplication like any
other execution so that they do not print during a test loop.
foamDictionary does not produce a conforming log, however, so
log.foamDictionary has been filtered out of the formation of the test
loop report so that false failures are not reported.
The new optional 'slash' scoping syntax is now the default and provides a more
intuitive and flexible syntax than the previous 'dot' syntax, corresponding to
the common directory/file access syntax used in UNIX, providing support for
reading entries from other dictionary files.
In the 'slash' syntax
'/' is the scope operator
'../' is the parent dictionary scope operator
'!' is the top-level dictionary scope operator
Examples:
internalField 3.4;
active
{
type fixedValue;
value.air $internalField;
}
inactive
{
type anotherFixedValue;
value $../active/value.air;
anotherValue $!active/value.air;
sub
{
value $../../active/value.air;
anotherValue $!active/value.air;
}
}
"U.*"
{
solver GAMG;
}
e.air
{
$U.air;
}
external
{
value $testSlashDict2!active/value.air;
}
active2
{
$testSlashDict2!active;
}
If there is a part of the keyword before the '!' then this is taken to be the
file name of the dictionary from which the entry will be looked-up using the
part of the keyword after the '!'. For example given a file testSlashDict containing
internalField 5.6;
active
{
type fixedValue;
value.air $internalField;
}
entries from it can be read directly from another file, e.g.
external
{
value $testSlashDict2!active/value.air;
}
active2
{
$testSlashDict2!active;
}
which expands to
external
{
value 5.6;
}
active2
{
type fixedValue;
value.air 5.6;
}
These examples are provided in applications/test/dictionary.
The the default syntax can be changed from 'slash' to 'dot' in etc/controlDict
to revert to the previous behaviour:
OptimisationSwitches
{
.
.
.
// Default dictionary scoping syntax
inputSyntax slash; // Change to dot for previous behaviour
}
or within a specific dictionary by adding the entry

The new multiphaseEulerFoam is based on reactingMultiphaseEulerFoam with some
improvements and rationalisation to assist maintenance and further development.
The phase system solution has been enhanced to handle two phases more
effectively and all two-phase specific models updated for compatibility so that
multiphaseEulerFoam can also replace reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam.
When running multiphaseEulerFoam with only two-phases the default behaviour is
to solve for both phase-fractions but optionally a reference phase can be
specified so that only the other phase-fraction is solved, providing better
compatibility with the behaviour of reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam.
All reactingMultiphaseEulerFoam and reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam tutorials have
been updated for multiphaseEulerFoam.
