Will Bainbridge e0bdf2405e fvModels: Remove 'Source' from names
The fact that these names create sources in their associated transport
equations is clear in context, so the name does not need to contain
'Source'.

Having 'Source' in the name is a historic convention that dates back to
when fvModels and fvConstraints were combined in a single fvOptions
interface. In this interface, disambiguation between sources and
constraints was necessary.

The full set of name changes is as follows:

                   accelerationSource -> acceleration
                  actuationDiskSource -> actuationDisk
     effectivenessHeatExchangerSource -> effectivenessHeatExchanger
               explicitPorositySource -> porosityForce
            radialActuationDiskSource -> radialActuationDisk
                      rotorDiskSource -> rotorDisk
             sixDoFAccelerationSource -> sixDoFAcceleration
         solidEquilibriumEnergySource -> solidThermalEquilibrium
          solidificationMeltingSource -> solidificationMelting
                 volumeFractionSource -> volumeBlockage
    interRegionExplicitPorositySource -> interRegionPorosityForce
       VoFSolidificationMeltingSource -> VoFSolidificationMelting

The old names are still available for backwards compatibility.

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
