Following the generalisation of the TurbulenceModels library to support
non-Newtonian laminar flow including visco-elasticity and extensible to other
form of non-Newtonian behaviour the name TurbulenceModels is misleading and does
not properly represent how general the OpenFOAM solvers now are. The
TurbulenceModels now provides an interface to momentum transport modelling in
general and the plan is to rename it MomentumTransportModels and in preparation
for this the turbulenceProperties dictionary has been renamed momentumTransport
to properly reflect its new more general purpose.
The old turbulenceProperties name is supported for backward-compatibility.
renaming the legacy keywords
RASModel -> model
LESModel -> model
laminarModel -> model
which is simpler and clear within the context in which they are specified, e.g.
RAS
{
model kOmegaSST;
turbulence on;
printCoeffs on;
}
rather than
RAS
{
RASModel kOmegaSST;
turbulence on;
printCoeffs on;
}
The old keywords are supported for backward compatibility.
A surface geometry file should be stored in
$FOAM_TUTORIALS/resources/geometry if it is used in multiple cases,
otherwise it should be stored locally to the case. This change enforces
that across all tutorials.
snappyHexMesh now generates a face-zone for the AMI-s, and createBaffles
and mergeOrSplitPoints -split are used to create the patches. Before,
snappy generated AMI patches directly, which were then converted to
AMI-s with createPatch.
This way, the AMI-s match exactly at the start of the simulation. For
more complicated cases that may be derived from this tutorial, this
could be important.
