Will Bainbridge 283f8b7dc8 chtMultiRegionFoam: SIMPLE operation and transonic switch
Multi-region PIMPLE controls have been applied to the chtMultiRegionFoam
solver, and a transonic option has been implemented.

The new PIMPLE controls let the solver operate SIMPLE mode. The
utilisation of library solution and convergence control functionality
has significantly reduced the amount of code in the solver. The
chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam solver has also been made obsolete, and has
therefore been removed.

A few changes will be necessary to convert an existing
chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam case to chtMultiRegionFoam. All the SIMPLE
sub-dictionaries in the system/<regions>/fvSolution will need to be
renamed PIMPLE. The system/fvSolution file will also need an empty
PIMPLE sub-dictionary. In addition, additional "<variable>Final" solver
and relaxation entries will be needed. For a steady case, adding a
wildcard ending, ".*", to the variable names should be sufficient.

Solution parameters appropriate for a steady case are shown below:

    solvers
    {
        "p_rgh.*"
        {
            solver           GAMG;
            tolerance        1e-7;
            relTol           0.01;
            smoother         DIC;
            maxIter          10;
        }

        "(U|h|e|k|epsilon).*"
        {
            solver           PBiCGStab;
            preconditioner   DILU;
            tolerance        1e-7;
            relTol           0.1;
        }
    }

    PIMPLE
    {
        // ...
    }

    relaxationFactors
    {
        fields
        {
            "p_rgh.*"       0.7;
        }
        equations
        {
            "U.*"           0.5;
            "(h|e).*"       0.3;
            "(k|epsilon).*" 0.2;
        }
    }
