This is a more intuitive keyword than "funcName" or "entryName". A
function object's name and corresponding output directory can now be
renamed as follows:
#includeFunc patchAverage
(
name=cylinderT, // <-- was funcName=... or entryName=...
region=fluid,
patch=fluid_to_solid,
field=T
)
Some packaged functions previously relied on a "name" argument that
related to an aspect of the function; e.g., the name of the faceZone
used by the faceZoneFlowRate function. These have been disambiguated.
This has also made them consistent with the preferred input syntax of
the underlying function objects.
Examples of the changed #includeFunc entries are shown below:
#includeFunc faceZoneAverage
(
faceZone=f0, // <-- was name=f0
U
)
#includeFunc faceZoneFlowRate
(
faceZone=f0 // <-- was name=f0
)
#includeFunc populationBalanceSizeDistribution
(
populationBalance=bubbles,
regionType=cellZone,
cellZone=injection, // <-- was name=injection
functionType=volumeDensity,
coordinateType=diameter,
normalise=yes
)
#includeFunc triSurfaceAverage
(
triSurface=mid.obj, // <-- was name=mid.obj
p
)
#includeFunc triSurfaceVolumetricFlowRate
(
triSurface=mid.obj // <-- was name=mid.obj
)
#includeFunc uniform
(
fieldType=volScalarField,
fieldName=alpha, // <-- was name=alpha
dimensions=[0 0 0 0 0 0 0],
value=0.2
)
so that the same option with a rational name is also available for #includeModel
and #includeConstraint. Support for funcName is maintained for
backwards-compatibility.
Description
User convenience class to handle the input of time-varying rotational speed
in rad/s if \c omega is specified or rpm if \c rpm is specified.
Usage
For specifying the rotational speed in rpm of an MRF zone:
\verbatim
MRF
{
cellZone rotor;
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
rpm 60;
}
\endverbatim
or the equivalent specified in rad/s:
\verbatim
MRF
{
cellZone rotor;
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
rpm 6.28319;
}
\endverbatim
or for a tabulated ramped rotational speed of a solid body:
\verbatim
mover
{
type motionSolver;
libs ("libfvMeshMovers.so" "libfvMotionSolvers.so");
motionSolver solidBody;
cellZone innerCylinder;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 1 0);
rpm table
(
(0 0)
(0.01 6000)
(0.022 6000)
(0.03 4000)
(100 4000)
);
}
\endverbatim
The following classes have been updated to use the new Function1s::omega class:
solidBodyMotionFunctions::rotatingMotion
MRFZone
rotatingPressureInletOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField
rotatingTotalPressureFvPatchScalarField
rotatingWallVelocityFvPatchVectorField
and all tutorials using these models and BCs updated to use rpm where appropriate.
Settings for the individual non-conformal couples can now be put in a
"nonConformalCouples" sub-dictionary of the
system/createNonConformalCouplesDict. For example:
fields no;
nonConformalCouples // <-- new sub-dictionary
{
nonConformalCouple_none
{
patches (nonCouple1 nonCouple2);
transform none;
}
nonConformalCouple_30deg
{
patches (nonCoupleBehind nonCoupleAhead);
transform rotational;
rotationAxis (-1 0 0);
rotationCentre (0 0 0);
rotationAngle 30;
}
}
This permits settings to be #include-d from files that themselves
contain sub-dictionaries without the utility treating those
sub-dictionaries as if they specify a non-conformal coupling. It also
makes the syntax more comparable to that of createBafflesDict.
The new "nonConformalCouples" sub-dictionary is optional, so this change
is backwards compatible. The new syntax is recommended, however, and all
examples have been changed accordingly.
executed with foamRun for single region simulations of foamMultiRun for
multi-region simulations. Replaces pimpleFoam, pisoFoam and simpleFoam and all
the corresponding tutorials have been updated and moved to
tutorials/modules/incompressibleFluid.
Class
Foam::solvers::incompressibleFluid
Description
Solver module for steady or transient turbulent flow of incompressible
isothermal fluids with optional mesh motion and change.
Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
in many ways including adding various sources, constraining or limiting
the solution.
