- improve doxygen entries for searchable surfaces.
- support selection of searchable surfaces with shorter names.
Eg,
type box | cylinder | ...;
vs type searchableBox | searchableCylinder | ...;
- relocate some standard functionality to TimePaths to allow a lighter
means of managing time directories without using the entire Time
mechanism.
- optional enableLibs for Time construction (default is on)
and a corresponding argList::noLibs() and "-no-libs" option
STYLE:
- mark Time::outputTime() as deprecated MAY-2016
- use pre-increment for runTime, although there is no difference in
behaviour or performance.
- 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.
- 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.
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"
These BCs blend between typical inflow and outflow conditions based on the
velocity orientation.
airFoil2D tutorial updated to demonstrate these new BCs.
Now pimpleDyMFoam is exactly equivalent to pimpleFoam when running on a
staticFvMesh. Also when the constant/dynamicMeshDict is not present a
staticFvMesh is automatically constructed so that the pimpleDyMFoam solver can
run any pimpleFoam case without change.
pimpleDyMFoam: Store Uf as an autoPtr for better error handling
pimpleFoam: Set initial deltaT from the Courant number
for improved stability on start-up and compatibility with pimpleDyMFoam
ENH: pimpleFoam: Merged dynamic mesh functionality of pimpleDyMFoam into pimpleFoam
and replaced pimpleDyMFoam with a script which reports this change.
The pimpleDyMFoam tutorials have been moved into the pimpleFoam directory.
This change is the first of a set of developments to merge dynamic mesh
functionality into the standard solvers to improve consistency, usability,
flexibility and maintainability of these solvers.

Within decomposeParDict, it is now possible to specify a different
decomposition method, methods coefficients or number of subdomains
for each region individually.
The top-level numberOfSubdomains remains mandatory, since this
specifies the number of domains for the entire simulation.
The individual regions may use the same number or fewer domains.
Any optional method coefficients can be specified in a general
"coeffs" entry or a method-specific one, eg "metisCoeffs".
For multiLevel, only the method-specific "multiLevelCoeffs" dictionary
is used, and is also mandatory.
----
ENH: shortcut specification for multiLevel.
In addition to the longer dictionary form, it is also possible to
use a shorter notation for multiLevel decomposition when the same
decomposition method applies to each level.
