Will Bainbridge 8208ca6cc7 functionObjects: Added patchCutLayerAverage
This function object writes graphs of patch face values, area-averaged in
planes perpendicular to a given direction. It adaptively grades the
distribution of graph points to match the resolution of the mesh.

Example of function object specification:

    patchCutLayerAverage1
    {
        type            patchCutLayerAverage;
        libs            ("libpatchCutLayerAverageFunctionObject.so");

        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;

        patch           lowerWall;
        direction       (1 0 0);
        nPoints         100;
        interpolate     no;

        fields          (p U);

        axis            x;
        setFormat       raw;
    }

A packaged function object is also included, which permits the following
syntax to be used, either with #includeFunc in the system/controlDict,
or with the -func option to foamPostProcess:

    graphPatchCutLayerAverage
    (
        funcName=aerofoilLowerPressure,
        patch=aerofoilLower,
        direction=(0.15 -0.016 0),
        nPoints=100,
        p
    )

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
