Henry Weller 8b672f0f1a postProcessing: Replaced 'foamCalc' and the 'postCalc' utilities
with the more general and flexible 'postProcess' utility and '-postProcess' solver option

Rationale
---------

Both the 'postProcess' utility and '-postProcess' solver option use the
same extensive set of functionObjects available for data-processing
during the run avoiding the substantial code duplication necessary for
the 'foamCalc' and 'postCalc' utilities and simplifying maintenance.
Additionally consistency is guaranteed between solver data processing
and post-processing.

The functionObjects have been substantially re-written and generalized
to simplify development and encourage contribution.

Configuration
-------------

An extensive set of simple functionObject configuration files are
provided in

OpenFOAM-dev/etc/caseDicts/postProcessing

and more will be added in the future.  These can either be copied into
'<case>/system' directory and included into the 'controlDict.functions'
sub-dictionary or included directly from 'etc/caseDicts/postProcessing'
using the '#includeEtc' directive or the new and more convenient
'#includeFunc' directive which searches the
'<etc>/caseDicts/postProcessing' directories for the selected
functionObject, e.g.

functions
{
    #includeFunc Q
    #includeFunc Lambda2
}

'#includeFunc' first searches the '<case>/system' directory in case
there is a local configuration.

Description of #includeFunc
---------------------------

    Specify a functionObject dictionary file to include, expects the
    functionObject name to follow (without quotes).

    Search for functionObject dictionary file in
    user/group/shipped directories.
    The search scheme allows for version-specific and
    version-independent files using the following hierarchy:
    - \b user settings:
      - ~/.OpenFOAM/\<VERSION\>/caseDicts/postProcessing
      - ~/.OpenFOAM/caseDicts/postProcessing
    - \b group (site) settings (when $WM_PROJECT_SITE is set):
      - $WM_PROJECT_SITE/\<VERSION\>/caseDicts/postProcessing
      - $WM_PROJECT_SITE/caseDicts/postProcessing
    - \b group (site) settings (when $WM_PROJECT_SITE is not set):
      - $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site/\<VERSION\>/caseDicts/postProcessing
      - $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site/caseDicts/postProcessing
    - \b other (shipped) settings:
      - $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/caseDicts/postProcessing

    An example of the \c \#includeFunc directive:
    \verbatim
        #includeFunc <funcName>
    \endverbatim

postProcess
-----------

The 'postProcess' utility and '-postProcess' solver option provide the
same set of controls to execute functionObjects after the run either by
reading a specified set of fields to process in the case of
'postProcess' or by reading all fields and models required to start the
run in the case of '-postProcess' for each selected time:

postProcess -help

Usage: postProcess [OPTIONS]
options:
  -case <dir>       specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
  -constant         include the 'constant/' dir in the times list
  -dict <file>      read control dictionary from specified location
  -field <name>     specify the name of the field to be processed, e.g. U
  -fields <list>    specify a list of fields to be processed, e.g. '(U T p)' -
                    regular expressions not currently supported
  -func <name>      specify the name of the functionObject to execute, e.g. Q
  -funcs <list>     specify the names of the functionObjects to execute, e.g.
                    '(Q div(U))'
  -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
  -region <name>    specify alternative mesh region
  -roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
                    slave root directories for distributed running
  -time <ranges>    comma-separated time ranges - eg, ':10,20,40:70,1000:'
  -srcDoc           display source code in browser
  -doc              display application documentation in browser
  -help             print the usage

 pimpleFoam -postProcess -help

Usage: pimpleFoam [OPTIONS]
options:
  -case <dir>       specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
  -constant         include the 'constant/' dir in the times list
  -dict <file>      read control dictionary from specified location
  -field <name>     specify the name of the field to be processed, e.g. U
  -fields <list>    specify a list of fields to be processed, e.g. '(U T p)' -
                    regular expressions not currently supported
  -func <name>      specify the name of the functionObject to execute, e.g. Q
  -funcs <list>     specify the names of the functionObjects to execute, e.g.
                    '(Q div(U))'
  -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
  -postProcess      Execute functionObjects only
  -region <name>    specify alternative mesh region
  -roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
                    slave root directories for distributed running
  -time <ranges>    comma-separated time ranges - eg, ':10,20,40:70,1000:'
  -srcDoc           display source code in browser
  -doc              display application documentation in browser
  -help             print the usage

The functionObjects to execute may be specified on the command-line
using the '-func' option for a single functionObject or '-funcs' for a
list, e.g.

postProcess -func Q
postProcess -funcs '(div(U) div(phi))'

In the case of 'Q' the default field to process is 'U' which is
specified in and read from the configuration file but this may be
overridden thus:

postProcess -func 'Q(Ua)'

as is done in the example above to calculate the two forms of the divergence of
the velocity field.  Additional fields which the functionObjects may depend on
can be specified using the '-field' or '-fields' options.

The 'postProcess' utility can only be used to execute functionObjects which
process fields present in the time directories.  However, functionObjects which
depend on fields obtained from models, e.g. properties derived from turbulence
models can be executed using the '-postProcess' of the appropriate solver, e.g.

pisoFoam -postProcess -func PecletNo

or

sonicFoam -postProcess -func MachNo

In this case all required fields will have already been read so the '-field' or
'-fields' options are not be needed.

Class
Foam::functionObjects::fieldAverage
Group
grpFieldFunctionObjects
Description
This function object calculates average quantities for a user-specified
selection of volumetric and surface fields. Fields are entered as a list
of sub-dictionaries, which indicate the type of averages to perform, and
can be updated during the calculation. The current options include:
- \c mean: arithmetic mean:
\f[
\overline{x} = \frac{1}{N}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=0}^N x_i
\f]
- \c prime2Mean: prime-squared mean
\f[
\overline{x'}^2 = \frac{1}{N}\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=0}^N
(x_i - \overline{x})^2
\f]
- base: average over 'time', or 'iteration' (\f$N\f$ in the above)
- window: optional averaging window, specified in 'base' units
Average field names are constructed by concatenating the base field with
the averaging type, e.g. when averaging field 'U', the resultant fields
are:
- arithmetic mean field, UMean
- prime-squared field, UPrime2Mean
Information regarding the number of averaging steps, and total averaging
time are written on a per-field basis to the
\c "<functionObject name>Properties" dictionary, located in \<time\>/uniform
When restarting form a previous calculation, the averaging is continuous or
may be restarted using the \c restartOnRestart option.
The averaging process may be restarted after each calculation output time
using the \c restartOnOutput option or restarted periodically using the \c
periodicRestart option and setting \c restartPeriod to the required
averaging period.
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
fieldAverage1
{
type fieldAverage;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
...
restartOnRestart false;
restartOnOutput false;
periodicRestart false;
restartPeriod 0.002;
fields
(
U
{
mean on;
prime2Mean on;
base time;
window 10.0;
windowName w1;
}
p
{
mean on;
prime2Mean on;
base time;
}
);
}
\endverbatim
\heading Function object usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | type name: fieldAverage | yes |
restartOnRestart | Restart the averaging on restart | no | no
restartOnOutput | Restart the averaging on output | no | no
periodicRestart | Periodically restart the averaging | no | no
restartPeriod | Periodic restart period | conditional |
fields | list of fields and averaging options | yes |
\endtable
Note
To employ the \c prime2Mean option, the \c mean option must be selecetd.
