Optional CPU load caching can be switched-on for Lagrangian cloud tracking
and/or chemistry integration using the new cpuLoad switch in the cloudProperties
or chemistryProperties dictionary files respectively and used for
multi-constraint load-balancing by the fvMeshDistributorsLoadBalancer specified
in the dynamicMeshDict file
distributor
{
type loadBalancer;
libs ("libfvMeshDistributors.so");
multiConstraint true;
redistributionInterval 10;
}
which used the distributor specified in the decomposeParDict file, e.g.
numberOfSubdomains 12;
decomposer simple;
distributor zoltan;
libs ("libzoltanDecomp.so");
simpleCoeffs
{
n (2 2 3);
}
zoltanCoeffs
{
lb_method rcb;
}
The incompressibleDenseParticleFluid/cyclone case has been updated to
demonstrate this new functionality and shows a speedup ~50% using the Zoltan RCB
multi-constraint distributor. The multicomponentFluid/counterFlowFlame2D_GRI
case has also been updated to use the new cpuLoad switch.

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.
