- corrected the mass based correction and updated the misleading function
arguments
- moved the option to the optimisation switches, e.g.:
OptimisationSwitches
{
experimentalDdtCorr 1;
}
- default remains off/no (0)
version on a switch. See #867
By default the code will use the same form as previous versions
To use the experimental version integrated from openfoam.org commit
da787200 set the info switch in the controlDict:
InfoSwitches
{
experimentalDdtCorr 1;
}
- Updated tutorial headers
- Added copyright note to isoAdvector src
- Removed outcommented code lines in interIsoFoam solver
- Removed all LTS from interIsoFoam since this is not currently supported
- Confirmed that discInConstantFlow gives identical results with N subCylces and time step N*dt
- Confirmed that this also holds when nOuterCorrectors > 1.
- Since 'bool' and 'Switch' use the _identical_ input mechanism
(ie, both accept true/false, on/off, yes/no, none, 1/0), the main
reason to prefer one or the other is the output.
The output for Switch is as text (eg, "true"), whereas for bool
it is label (0 or 1). If the output is required for a dictionary,
Switch may be appropriate. If the output is not required, or is only
used for Pstream exchange, bool can be more appropriate.
- improves backward compatibility and more naming consistency.
Retain setMany(iter1, iter2) to avoid ambiguity with the
PackedList::set(index, value) method.
Residual fields can be written using the new 'writeFields' entry, e.g.
functions
{
residual
{
type residuals;
libs ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
fields (".*");
writeControl writeTime;
writeFields true;
}
}
Fields currently correspond to the initial residual for the last solver
iteration.
- 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.
- this should normally not be triggered, provided that setRefCell was
used. However, if getRefCellValue() was called without any previous
checking on refCelli, it is possible to provoke errors.

Tutorial case to follow.
- The iterator for a HashSet dereferences directly to its key.
- Eg,
for (const label patchi : patchSet)
{
...
}
vs.
forAllConstIter(labelHashSet, patchSet, iter)
{
const label patchi = iter.key();
...
}
- The bitSet class replaces the old PackedBoolList class.
The redesign provides better block-wise access and reduced method
calls. This helps both in cases where the bitSet may be relatively
sparse, and in cases where advantage of contiguous operations can be
made. This makes it easier to work with a bitSet as top-level object.
In addition to the previously available count() method to determine
if a bitSet is being used, now have simpler queries:
- all() - true if all bits in the addressable range are empty
- any() - true if any bits are set at all.
- none() - true if no bits are set.
These are faster than count() and allow early termination.
The new test() method tests the value of a single bit position and
returns a bool without any ambiguity caused by the return type
(like the get() method), nor the const/non-const access (like
operator[] has). The name corresponds to what std::bitset uses.
The new find_first(), find_last(), find_next() methods provide a faster
means of searching for bits that are set.
This can be especially useful when using a bitSet to control an
conditional:
OLD (with macro):
forAll(selected, celli)
{
if (selected[celli])
{
sumVol += mesh_.cellVolumes()[celli];
}
}
NEW (with const_iterator):
for (const label celli : selected)
{
sumVol += mesh_.cellVolumes()[celli];
}
or manually
for
(
label celli = selected.find_first();
celli != -1;
celli = selected.find_next()
)
{
sumVol += mesh_.cellVolumes()[celli];
}
- When marking up contiguous parts of a bitset, an interval can be
represented more efficiently as a labelRange of start/size.
For example,
OLD:
if (isA<processorPolyPatch>(pp))
{
forAll(pp, i)
{
ignoreFaces.set(i);
}
}
NEW:
if (isA<processorPolyPatch>(pp))
{
ignoreFaces.set(pp.range());
}
- 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
- both autoPtr and tmp are defined with an implicit construct from
nullptr (but with explicit construct from a pointer to null).
Thus is it safe to use 'nullptr' when returning an empty autoPtr or tmp.
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
- in many cases can just use lookupOrDefault("key", bool) instead of
lookupOrDefault<bool> or lookupOrDefault<Switch> since reading a
bool from an Istream uses the Switch(Istream&) anyhow
STYLE: relocated Switch string names into file-local scope
