Henry Weller ce42ebc5d7 thermophysicalTransportModel: added predict() function
None of the current thermophysicalTransportModels solve transport equations in
order to evaluate the thermophysical transport properties so it makes more sense
that the evaluation occurs at the beginning of the time-step rather than at the
end where conservative fluxes are available for transport solution.  To enable
this the correct() functions have been renamed predict() and called in the
prePredictor() step of foamRun and foamMultiRun and at the beginning of the
time-step in the legacy solvers.  A particular advantage of this approach is
that complex data cached in the thermophysicalTransportModels can now be deleted
following mesh topology changes and recreated in the predict() call which is
more efficient than attempting to register and map the data.

An empty correct() function is included in addition to the new predict()
function in thermophysicalTransportModel to support scalar flux transport
closure in the future if needed.

Additionally the two transport model corrector function calls in foamRun and
foamMultiRun have been combined into a single postCorrector() call to allow
greater flexibility in transport property prediction and correction in the
modular solvers.

Application
foamMultiRun
Description
Loads and executes an OpenFOAM solver modules for each region of a
multiregion simulation e.g. for conjugate heat transfer.
The region solvers are specified in the \c regionSolvers dictionary entry in
\c controlDict, containing a list of pairs of region and solver names,
e.g. for a two region case with one fluid region named
liquid and one solid region named tubeWall:
\verbatim
regionSolvers
{
liquid fluid;
tubeWall solid;
}
\endverbatim
The \c regionSolvers entry is a dictionary to support name substitutions to
simplify the specification of a single solver type for a set of
regions, e.g.
\verbatim
fluidSolver fluid;
solidSolver solid;
regionSolvers
{
tube1 $fluidSolver;
tubeWall1 solid;
tube2 $fluidSolver;
tubeWall2 solid;
tube3 $fluidSolver;
tubeWall3 solid;
}
\endverbatim
Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
Usage
\b foamMultiRun [OPTION]
- \par -libs '(\"lib1.so\" ... \"libN.so\")'
Specify the additional libraries loaded
Example usage:
- To update and run a \c chtMultiRegion case add the following entries to
the controlDict:
\verbatim
application foamMultiRun;
regionSolvers
{
fluid fluid;
solid solid;
}
\endverbatim
then execute \c foamMultiRun
