- provide additional filtering methods on names(), sortedNames()
For example,
IOobjectList objects = ...;
wordReList selection = ...;
objects.sortedNames(VolFieldType::typeName, selection);
e.g. the motion of two counter-rotating AMI regions could be defined:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh;
solvers
(
rotor1
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor1;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
rotor2
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor2;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega -6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
);
Any combination of motion solvers may be selected but there is no special
handling of motion interaction; the motions are applied sequentially and
potentially cumulatively.
To support this new general framework the solidBodyMotionFvMesh and
multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh dynamicFvMeshes have been converted into the
corresponding motionSolvers solidBody and multiSolidBody and the tutorials
updated to reflect this change e.g. the motion in the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial
is now defined thus:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
solver solidBody;
solidBodyCoeffs
{
cellZone rotor;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
- Recursive searching for objects within a registry is now optional
(previous it was always done).
A recursive search effectively blocks the construction of sub-sub-registries
if their names are 'masked' by some parent level sub-registry with
the same name! (BUG)
- Recursive search is now turned OFF by default, which makes it consistent
with dictionary and probably causes the least number of surprises.

Various new convenience methods added:
lookupObjectRef()
- returns a non-const reference.
For example,
volScalarField& U = mesh().lookupObjectRef<volScalarField>("U");
Instead of
volScalarField& U = const_cast<volScalarField&>
(
mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("U")
);
--
lookupObjectPtr()
- returns a const pointer, and nullptr on failure.
For example,
const volScalarField* Uptr = mesh().lookupObjectPtr<volScalarField>("U");
if (Uptr)
{
const volScalarField& U = *Uptr;
...
}
Instead of
if (mesh().foundObject<volScalarField>("U"))
{
const volScalarField& U = mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("U");
...
}
--
lookupObjectRefPtr()
- returns a non-const pointer, and nullptr on failure.
For example,
volScalarField* Uptr = mesh().lookupObjectRefPtr<volScalarField>("U");
if (Uptr)
{
volScalarField& U = *Uptr; // use as reference
(*Uptr) = ...; // or use directly
}
Instead of
if (mesh().foundObject<volScalarField>("U"))
{
volScalarField& U = const_cast<volScalarField&>
(
mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("U")
);
}
--
sortedNames()
- now works with template parameters and with regular expression
matching as well.
For example,
wordList names = mesh().sortedNames();
wordList fields = mesh().sortedName<volScalarField>();
Instead of
wordList names = mesh().sortedNames();
wordList fields = mesh().names<volScalarField>();
Foam::sort(fields);

- all sampled surface types now consistently use the same storage,
which allows some more simplifications in the future.
- before/after comparison of the sampledTriSurfaceMesh tested with
motorbike passenger helmet (serial and parallel). Use the newly added
'keepIds' functionality to retain the original ids, and can also
compare them to the original obj file with "GenerateIds" in paraview.
- this makes it easier to reuse the code, and sampledSurface expect
a face (not a labelledFace), so this also eliminates a translation
level and simplifies memory management.
- before/after comparison of the sampled iso-surfaces tested with
iso-surfaces from interFoam/RAS/angledDuct tutorial (serial and
parallel)
For example,
surfaces
(
helmet
{
type sampledTriSurfaceMesh;
surface motorBike-passenger-helmet.obj;
source cells;
keepIds true; <<-- NEW
}
);
This will create an additional "Ids" field that can be used to sort
or as a faceMap to recover the original face order.
Generates discrete particle data from multiphase calculations by
interrogating the phase fraction field at a faceZone.
Data is written in raw form, i.e. per particle collected, with
as an optional binned distribution
