Feature function objects
Lots of code migrated from internal development line, code tidying and a few fixes
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

This is useful when applying an experimentally obtained profile as an
inlet condition:
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
myPatch
{
type fixedProfile;
profile csvFile;
profileCoeffs
{
nHeaderLine 0; // Number of header lines
refColumn 0; // Reference column index
componentColumns (1 2 3); // Component column indices
separator ","; // Optional (defaults to ",")
mergeSeparators no; // Merge multiple separators
fileName "Uprofile.csv"; // name of csv data file
outOfBounds clamp; // Optional out-of-bounds handling
interpolationScheme linear; // Optional interpolation scheme
}
direction (0 1 0);
origin 0;
}
\endverbatim
or a simple polynomial profile:
Example setting a parabolic inlet profile for the PitzDaily case:
\verbatim
inlet
{
type fixedProfile;
profile polynomial
(
((1 0 0) (0 0 0))
((-6200 0 0) (2 0 0))
);
direction (0 1 0);
origin 0.0127;
}
\endverbatim

ENH: checkMesh: have -writeSets option
- checkMesh has option to write faceSets or (outside of) cellSets as
sampledSurface format. It automatically reconstructs the set on the master
and writes it to the postProcessing folder (as any sampledSurface). E.g.
mpirun -np 6 checkMesh -allTopology -allGeometry -writeSets vtk -parallel
- fixed order writing of symmTensor in Ensight writers
See merge request !8
- user provides two planes and pressure drop across these
- bc assume potential flow and works out inlet velocity that would cause
an equivalent pressure drop

- fixed order writing of symmTensor in Ensight writers
across all the phases in an Eulerian multi-phase simulation.
Intended to be used with copiedFixedValue to ensure that phase wall
temperature are consistent:
- Set 'fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux' boundary for one of the phases
- Use 'copiedFixedValue' for all the other phases.
