Basic directional refinement:
- only for coordinate aligned meshes
- only for refinementRegions
See the mesh/snappyHexMesh/aerofoilNACA0012_directionalRefinement
tutorial.
- input or output scaling of values to manage dissimilar unit systems
in the structures model
- logging of communicated force, moments and updated positions.
This allows tracking of the information exchange throughout the
duration of the simulation and may assist in post-simulation diagnosis.
- the problem arises since the various surface writers are stateless.
The collated output format hacks around this limitation by adding in
its own fieldDict caching (to disk).
Now include an updateMesh() method to hook into geometry changes.
This is considered a stop-gap measure until the surface output
handling is improved.
- improvement documentation for surface sampling.
- can now specify alternative sampling scheme for obtaining the
face values instead of just using the "cell" value. For example,
sampleScheme cellPoint;
This can be useful for cases when the surface is close to a boundary
cell and there are large gradients in the sampled field.
- distanceSurface now handles non-closed surfaces more robustly.
Unknown regions (not inside or outside) are marked internally and
excluded from consideration. This allows use of 'signed' surfaces
where not previously possible.
- controlled by the the 'printExecutionFormat' InfoSwitch in
etc/controlDict
// Style for "ExecutionTime = " output
// - 0 = seconds (with trailing 's')
// - 1 = day-hh:mm:ss
ExecutionTime = 112135.2 s ClockTime = 113017 s
ExecutionTime = 1-07:08:55.20 ClockTime = 1-07:23:37
- Callable via the new Time::printExecutionTime() method,
which also helps to reduce clutter in the applications.
Eg,
runTime.printExecutionTime(Info);
vs
Info<< "ExecutionTime = " << runTime.elapsedCpuTime() << " s"
<< " ClockTime = " << runTime.elapsedClockTime() << " s"
<< nl << endl;
--
ENH: return elapsedClockTime() and clockTimeIncrement as double
- previously returned as time_t, which is less portable.
- the expansions were previously required as slash to follow, but
now either are possible.
"<case>", "<case>/" both yield the same as "$FOAM_CASE" and
will not have a trailing slash in the result. The expansion of
"$FOAM_CASE/" will however have a trailing slash.
- adjust additional files using these expansions
Support the following expansions when they occur at the start of a
string:
Short-form Equivalent
========= ===========
<etc>/ ~OpenFOAM/ (as per foamEtcFile)
<case>/ $FOAM_CASE/
<constant>/ $FOAM_CASE/constant/
<system>/ $FOAM_CASE/system/
These can be used in fileName expansions to improve clarity and reduce
some typing
"<constant>/reactions" vs "$FOAM_CASE/constant/reactions"
keeping chocked conditions of Mach number.
This BC can work in two modes, chocked or non-chocked. In the
chocked mode the Ma is an input. In the non-chocked mode
the Ma is calculated from model inputs.
