- Normally use '()' to deference. This has extra safety and issues a
fatal error if the underlying pointer is not valid.
However, in some cases we are happy with getting a null reference.
The refOrNull() method returns the reference without any checking.
Usage example:
autoPtr<OFstream> osPtr;
if (Pstream::master())
{
osPtr.reset(new OFstream(...));
}
writeViaMaster(osPtr.refOrNull());
- The writeViaMaster() call takes an OFstream reference,
but this is only used directly on the master.
The slaves will pass things through to the master.

Block description
For a given block, the correspondence between the ordering of
vertex labels and face labels is shown below.
For vertex numbering in the sequence 0 to 7 (block, centre):
faces 0 (f0) and 1 are left and right, respectively;
faces 2 and 3 are bottom and top;
and faces 4 and 5 are front the back:
4 ---- 5
f3 |\ |\ f5
| | 7 ---- 6 \
| 0 |--- 1 | \
| \| \| f4
f2 3 ---- 2
f0 ----- f1

1. Spaced ending of multi-level template parameters are not allowed, such as:
List<List<scalar> >
which instead should be:
List<List<scalar>>
2. The use of the 'NULL' macro should be replaced by 'nullptr'
to ensure 'patchType' is set as specified.
Required substantial change to the organization of the reading of the
'value' entry requiring careful testing and there may be some residual
issues remaining. Please report any problems with the reading and
initialization of patch fields.

e.g. for the cavity tutorial the moving wall patch can be specified in
terms of the block vertices as before:
boundary
(
movingWall
{
type wall;
faces
(
(3 7 6 2)
);
}
.
.
.
or the new specification of the face as block 0, block face 3:
boundary
(
movingWall
{
type wall;
faces
(
(0 3)
);
}
- Less looping when detecting lagrangian clouds and their fields.
- Avoid using Time::setTime() and IOobjectList in tight loops.
They both kill performance immensely.
ENH: provide a -noLagrangian option to foamToEnsight and foamToEnsightParts
for even more control.
- The new field needs initialization with a dimensioned<Type> not just
the dimensionSet.
- The new field was also incorrectly being registered, which could
cause issues later.
Old code:
Found 10990 time steps
Search for moving mesh ... no moving mesh detected.
Startup in 329.09 s
Updated:
Found 10990 time steps
Search for moving mesh ... no moving mesh detected.
Startup in 1.6 s
- Cause was checking "polyMesh/points" via an IOobject.
Short-circuit with a check for a polyMesh/ directory first.
Limit the check to the master-node as well to further reduce
load on the file-system.
------------------------------
ENH: improve per-step conversion times for foamToEnsight.
Old code:
Converting 11001 time steps
Time [0] = 0 Wrote in 1.53 s
Time [1] = 1 Wrote in 1.52 s
...
Time [100] = 100 Elapsed time 205.35 s
Updated:
Converting 11001 time steps
Time [0] = 0 Wrote in 1.4 s
Time [1] = 1 Wrote in 0.07 s
...
Time [100] = 100 Elapsed time 42.4 s
- Speedup by hashing test results from the first conversion step
instead of checking each time.
Check data on all nodes to avoid problems with incomplete writes.
------------------------------
BUG: moving mesh detection failed for foamToEnsightParts
- adjusted to agree with updated foamToEnsight
------------------------------
Note:
- foamToEnsightParts (serial) still has about twice the throughput of
foamToEnsight.
Renamed the original 'laminar' model to 'Stokes' to indicate it is a
linear stress model supporting both Newtonian and non-Newtonian
viscosity.
This general framework will support linear, non-linear, visco-elastic
etc. laminar transport models.
For backward compatibility the 'Stokes' laminar stress model can be
selected either the original 'laminar' 'simulationType'
specification in turbulenceProperties:
simulationType laminar;
or using the new more general 'laminarModel' specification:
simulationType laminar;
laminar
{
laminarModel Stokes;
}
which allows other laminar stress models to be selected.
Required to support LTS with the -postProcess option with sub-models dependent on ddt
terms during construction, in particular reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam.
