- Extended runTimePostProcessing to include access to "live"
simulation objects such a geometry patches and sampled surfaces
stored on the "functionObjectObjects" registry.
- Add 'live' runTimePostProcessing of cloud data.
Extracts position and fields from the cloud via its objectRegistry writer
- For the "live" simulation objects, there are two new volume filters
that work directly with the OpenFOAM volume fields:
* iso-surface
* cutting planes
Both use the VTK algorithms directly and support multiple values.
Eg, can make multiple iso-levels or multiple planes parallel to each
other.
- When VTK has been compiled with MPI-support, parallel rendering will
be used.
- Additional title text properties (shadow, italic etc)
- Simplified handling of scalar-bar and visibility switches
- Support multiple text positions. Eg, for adding watermark text.
Reports the min|max|average AMI weights to text file and optionally
writes VTK surfaces of the sum of the weights, and mask field for
ACMI patches.
Example usage:
AMIWeights
{
type AMIWeights;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
writeControl writeTime;
writeFields yes;
}
Description
Calculates the energy spectrum for a structured IJK mesh
Usage
Example of function object specification:
energySpectrum1
{
type energySpectrum;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
}
Where the entries comprise:
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
type | type name: energySpectrum | yes |
log | write info to standard output | no | yes
\endtable
Output data is written to the file \<timeDir\>/energySpectrum.dat
except turbulence and lagrangian which will also be updated shortly.
For example in the nonNewtonianIcoFoam offsetCylinder tutorial the viscosity
model coefficients may be specified in the corresponding "<type>Coeffs"
sub-dictionary:
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
CrossPowerLawCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
}
BirdCarreauCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
k [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 1;
}
which allows a quick change between models, or using the simpler
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
if quick switching between models is not required.
To support this more convenient parameter specification the inconsistent
specification of seedSampleSet in the streamLine and wallBoundedStreamLine
functionObjects had to be corrected from
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet uniform; //cloud; //triSurfaceMeshPointSet;
uniformCoeffs
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
to the simpler
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
which also support the "<type>Coeffs" form
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
uniformCoeffs
{
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
}
