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.
This boundary condition now solves for the wall temperature by interval
bisection, which should be significantly more robust than the previous
fixed-point iteration procedure. There is a new non-dimensional
"tolerance" setting that controls how tightly this solution procedure
solves the wall temperature. The "relax" setting is no longer used.
The boundary condition no longer triggers re-evaluation of the
temperature condition in order to re-calculate the heat flux within the
solution iteration. Instead, it extracts physical coefficients from the
form of the boundary condition and uses these to form a linearised
approximation of the heat flux. This is a more general approach, and
will not trigger side-effects associated with re-evaluating the
temperature condition.
The fixedMultiphaseHeatFlux condition has been replaced by a
uniformFixedMultiphaseHeatFlux condition, which constructs a mixed
constraint which portions a specified heat flux between the phases in
such a way as to keep the boundary temperature uniform across all
phases. This can be applied to all phases. It is no longer necessary to
apply a heat flux model to one "master" phase, then map the resulting
temperature to the others. An example specification of this boundary
condition is as follows:
wall
{
type uniformFixedMultiphaseHeatFlux;
q 1000;
relax 0.3;
value $internalField;
}
The wall boiling tutorials have been updated to use these new functions,
and time-varying heat input has been used to replace the
stop-modify-restart pattern present in the single-region cases.
Bubble waiting time ratio has been made a user adjustable parameter, and
the names of the fields reported by the wallBoilingProperties function
have been rationalised.
These tutorials now make make use of the phaseTurbulenceStabilisation
fvModel and the wallBoilingProperties functionObject.

multi-region simulations. Replaces multiphaseEulerFoam and all the
corresponding tutorials have been updated and moved to
tutorials/modules/multiphaseEuler.
Class
Foam::solvers::multiphaseEuler
Description
Solver module for a system of any number of compressible fluid phases with a
common pressure, but otherwise separate properties. The type of phase model
is run time selectable and can optionally represent multiple species and
in-phase reactions. The phase system is also run time selectable and can
optionally represent different types of momentum, heat and mass transfer.
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, Lagrangian
particles, surface film etc. and constraining or limiting the solution.
