- improved separation of patch creation that is also parallel-aware,
which now allows creation in parallel
- memory-safe use of PtrList for adding patches, with a more generalized
faPatchData helper
- use uindirectPrimitivePatch instead of indirectPrimitivePatch
for internal patch handling.
- align boundary methods with polyMesh equivalents
- system/faMeshDefinition instead of constant/faMesh/faMeshDefinition
as per blockMesh convention. Easier to manage definitions, easier
for cleanup.
- drop inheritence from GeoMesh.
- New solver: `acousticFoam`
- New base finite-area region class: `regionFaModel`
- New base shell model classes:
- `vibrationShellModel`
- `thermalShellModel`
- New shell models:
- A vibration-shell model: `KirchhoffShell`
- A thermal-shell model: `thermalShell`
- New finite-area/finite-volume boundary conditions:
- `clampedPlate`
- `timeVaryingFixedValue`
- `acousticWaveTransmissive`
- New base classes for `fvOption` of finite-area methods: `faOption`
- New `faOption`s:
- `contactHeatFluxSource`
- `externalFileSource`
- `externalHeatFluxSource`
- `jouleHeatingSource`
- New tutorial: `compressible/acousticFoam/obliqueAirJet`
