Will Bainbridge 139ffcc112 functionObject: Fixed bugs in function object time-step adjustment
The logic governing function objects' ability to change the time-step
has been modified so that it is compatible with the time-step adjustment
done in the Time class. The behaviour has been split into a method which
sets the step directly, and another which moidifies the time until the
next write operation (i.e., the time that the solver "aims" for).

This fixes an issue where the adjustments in Time and the function
objects interfere and cause the time step to decrease exponentially down
to machine precision. It also means that the set-time-step function
object now does not break the adjustable run-time setting.

This resolves bug report https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2820

Namespace
Foam::functionObjects
Description
Namespace for functionObjects.
OpenFOAM includes a collection of functionObjects selected by the user at
run-time to manipulate the simulation and provide mechanisms to extract
field and derived quantities. Alternatively, the same actions can be
executed after the simulation using the \c -postProcess command-line option.
\subsection secFunctionObjects Using function objects
FunctionObjects are selected by additional entries in the
$FOAM_CASE/system/controlDict dictionary. Each object is listed in the \c
functions sub-dictionary, e.g. to select the \c functionObjectType
functionObject the following entry would be specified:
\verbatim
functions
{
<functionObjectName>
{
type functionObjectType;
libs ("libMyFunctionObjectlib.so");
region defaultRegion;
enabled yes;
timeStart 0;
timeEnd 10;
writeControl writeTime;
writeInterval 1;
...
}
}
\endverbatim
Where:
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | Type of function object | yes |
libs | Libraries containing implementation | yes |
region | Name of region for multi-region cases | no |
enabled | On/off switch | no | yes
log | Log information to standard output | no | yes
timeStart| Start time | no |
timeEnd | End time | no |
executeControl | See time controls below | no | timeStep
executeInterval | Steps between each execute phase | no |
writeControl | See time controls below | no | timeStep
writeInterval | Steps between each write phase | no |
\endtable
Time controls:
\table
Option | Description
timeStep | Execute/write every 'Interval' time-steps
writeTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' output times
adjustableRunTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' run time period
runTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' run time period
clockTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' clock time period
cpuTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' CPU time period
none | Execute/write every time-step
\endtable
The sub-dictionary name \c \<functionObjectName\> is chosen by the user, and
is typically used as the name of the output directory for any data written
by the functionObject. The \c type entry defines the type of function
object properties that follow. FunctionObjects are packaged into separate
libraries and the \c libs entry is used to specify which library should be
loaded.
Each function object has two separate run phases:
- The \c execute phase is meant to be used for updating calculations
or for management tasks.
- The \c write phase is meant for writing the calculated data to disk.
For each phase the respective time controls are provided, as listed above.
