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
)
This is a packaged function object that conveniently computes averages
of fields on tri-surfaces. It can be executed on the command line as
follows:
foamPostProcess -func "triSurfaceAverage(name=mid.obj, p)"
This will compute the average of the field "p" on a surface file in
"constant/geometry/mid.obj".
The calculation could also be done at run-time by adding the following
entry to the functions section of the system/controlDict
#includeFunc triSurfaceAverage(name=mid.obj, p)
