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.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
