- old convention was that on last time step it would only call end()
and not execute()
- however this meant that e.g. the functionObjectProperties file
did not get written
- and almost all functionObjects were doing an execute() inside of end()
- new convention: call execute() on last time step, just before doing end()
Updated objects
- corrected Peclet number for compressible cases
- propagated log flag and resultName across objects
New function objects
- new fluxSummary:
- calculates positive, negative, absolute and net flux across face
zones
- new runTimeControl
- abort the calculation when a user-defined metric is achieved.
Available options include:
- average value remains unchanged wrt a given threshold
- equation initial residual exceeds a threshold - useful to abort
diverging cases
- equation max iterations exceeds a threshold - useful to abort
diverging cases
- min/max of a function object value
- min time step exceeds a threshold - useful to abort diverging
cases
- new valueAverage:
- average singular values from other function objects, e.g. Cd, Cl and
Cm from the forceCoeffs function object
Properties stored in state dictionary:
- Moment coefficient: Cm
- Drag coefficient: Cd
- Lift coefficient: Cl
- Front lift coefficient: Cl(f)
- Rear lift coefficient: Cl(r)
This had been used in functionObjects:
Info(log)<< "messages" << data << ....
in which it is not at all clear what the "log" argument does whereas
if (log) Info<< "messages" << data << ....
is totally clear and more efficient.
end of Time::operator++. This allows to know if the next timeIndex will be
a dumping time. The function object "partialWrite" modifyes the write option
of the those fields which will be written down at given intervals of the overall
outout times.
