across all the phases in an Eulerian multi-phase simulation.
Intended to be used with copiedFixedValue to ensure that phase wall
temperature are consistent:
- Set 'fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux' boundary for one of the phases
- Use 'copiedFixedValue' for all the other phases.

Provides run-time selection of buoyancy sources for compressible solvers
Replaces the built-in buoyancy sources in XiFoam, reactingFoam and
rhoReactingFoam.
e.g. in constant/fvOptions specify
momentumSource
{
type buoyancyForce;
buoyancyForceCoeffs
{
fieldNames (U);
}
}
and optionally specify the buoyancy energy source in the enthalpy
equation:
energySource
{
type buoyancyEnergy;
buoyancyEnergyCoeffs
{
fieldNames (h);
}
}
or internal energy equation
energySource
{
type buoyancyEnergy;
buoyancyEnergyCoeffs
{
fieldNames (e);
}
}
New lift model supporting near-wall damping using the new
wallDampingModels.
e.g.
lift
(
(air in water)
{
type wallDamped;
lift
{
type constantCoefficient;
Cl 0.5;
}
wallDamping
{
type linear;
Cd 0.5;
}
}
);
in which a linear near-wall damping function min(y/(Cd*d), 1) is applied to the constant
coefficient lift model. Additional wall-damping functions will be added.
to allow iteration over the energy equations to improve stability for phase-change.
Additionally if nEnergyCorrectors is set to 0 the energy equations are
not solved which may be beneficial during the startup of some cases.
Usage: createTurbulenceFields [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-constant include the 'constant/' dir in the times list
-fields <wordReList>
specify which turbulence fields (k, epsilon, omega, R) to
write - eg '(k omega)' or '(R)' or '(.*)'.
-latestTime select the latest time
-newTimes select the new times
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-noZero exclude the '0/' dir from the times list, has precedence
over the -withZero option
-parallel run in parallel
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-time <ranges> comma-separated time ranges - eg, ':10,20,40:70,1000:'

Now solvers return solver performance information for all components
with backward compatibility provided by the "max" function which created
the scalar solverPerformance from the maximum component residuals from
the SolverPerformance<Type>.
The residuals functionObject has been upgraded to support
SolverPerformance<Type> so that now the initial residuals for all
(valid) components are tabulated, e.g. for the cavity tutorial case the
residuals for p, Ux and Uy are listed vs time.
Currently the residualControl option of pimpleControl and simpleControl
is supported in backward compatibility mode (only the maximum component
residual is considered) but in the future this will be upgraded to
support convergence control for the components individually.
This development started from patches provided by Bruno Santos, See
http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1824
The built-in explicit symplectic integrator has been replaced by a
general framework supporting run-time selectable integrators. Currently
the explicit symplectic, implicit Crank-Nicolson and implicit Newmark
methods are provided, all of which are 2nd-order in time:
Symplectic 2nd-order explicit time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion:
Reference:
Dullweber, A., Leimkuhler, B., & McLachlan, R. (1997).
Symplectic splitting methods for rigid body molecular dynamics.
The Journal of chemical physics, 107(15), 5840-5851.
Can only be used for explicit integration of the motion of the body,
i.e. may only be called once per time-step, no outer-correctors may be
applied. For implicit integration with outer-correctors choose either
CrankNicolson or Newmark schemes.
Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
solver
{
type symplectic;
}
Newmark 2nd-order time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion:
Reference:
Newmark, N. M. (1959).
A method of computation for structural dynamics.
Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 85(3), 67-94.
Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
solver
{
type Newmark;
gamma 0.5; // Velocity integration coefficient
beta 0.25; // Position integration coefficient
}
Crank-Nicolson 2nd-order time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion:
The off-centering coefficients for acceleration (velocity integration) and
velocity (position/orientation integration) may be specified but default
values of 0.5 for each are used if they are not specified. With the default
off-centering this scheme is equivalent to the Newmark scheme with default
coefficients.
Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
solver
{
type CrankNicolson;
aoc 0.5; // Acceleration off-centering coefficient
voc 0.5; // Velocity off-centering coefficient
}
Both the Newmark and Crank-Nicolson are proving more robust and reliable
than the symplectic method for solving complex coupled problems and the
tutorial cases have been updated to utilize this.
In this new framework it would be straight forward to add other methods
should the need arise.
