- additional debug information
- improve support for dictionary specification of constant, polynomial
and table entries. These previously only worked properly for
primitiveEntry, which causes confusion.
- extend table Function1 to include TableFile functionality.
Simplifies switching and modifying content.
- easier support for non-mandatory functions.
In some boundary conditions it can be desirable to support
additional functions, but not necessarily require them. Make this
easier to support with a Function1, PatchFunction1 NewIfPresent()
selector.
- support for compatibility lookups
- harmonize branching logic and error handling between Function1 and
PatchFunction1.
ENH: refactor a base class for Function1, PatchFunction1
- includes base characteristics, patch or scalar information
ENH: additional creation macros
- makeConcreteFunction1, makeConcretePatchFunction1Type for adding a
non-templated function into the correct templated selection table.
makeScalarPatchFunction1 for similarity with makeScalarFunction1
Function1 is an abstract base-class of run-time selectable unary
functions which may be composed of other Function1's allowing the user
to specify complex functions of a single scalar variable, e.g. time.
The implementations need not be a simple or continuous functions;
interpolated tables and polynomials are also supported. In fact form of
mapping between a single scalar input and a single primitive type output
is supportable.
The primary application of Function1 is in time-varying boundary
conditions, it also used for other functions of time, e.g. injected mass
is spray simulations but is not limited to functions of time.
