Henry Weller 0177c7dd59 functionObjects::fieldAverage: Simplified the controls
Rather than specifying the controls per field it is simpler to use a single set
of controls for all the fields in the list and use separate instances of the
fieldAverage functionObject for different control sets:

    Example of function object specification setting all the optional parameters:
    fieldAverage1
    {
        type                fieldAverage;
        libs                ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        writeControl        writeTime;

        restartOnRestart    false;
        restartOnOutput     false;
        periodicRestart     false;
        restartPeriod       0.002;

        base                time;
        window              10.0;
        windowName          w1;

        mean                yes;
        prime2Mean          yes;

        fields              (U p);
    }

This allows for a simple specification with the optional prime2Mean entry using

    #includeFunc fieldAverage(U, p, prime2Mean = yes)

or if the prime2Mean is not needed just

    #includeFunc fieldAverage(U, 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
