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.
Resolves bug-report http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2266
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.
Individual inward-pointing faces are checked and if all faces are
inward-pointing the block is inside-out. These errors are fatal and the
message indicates which block the error occurs in and where in the
blockMeshDict the block is defined.
- bugfix (empty patches), and added detection of steady-state
scheme.
Caveat: when called via execFlowFunctionObjects will always produce a
zero field, since the oldTime field is not available for this mode.
Extrapolate internal field to walls for post-processing.
Uses as new syntax for handling the naming of multiple fields.
The input fields are selected via a wordReList.
For example,
fields (U "(T|k|epsilon|omega)");
The names of the resulting output fields use placeholder tokens for
flexibility. For example,
result zeroGradient(@@);
The '@@' placeholder is replaced by the name of the input field.
Eg,
fields (U T);
result zeroGradient(@@);
-> zeroGradient(U), zeroGradient(T)
Or,
fields (U T);
result @@nearWall;
-> UnearWall, TnearWall
NOTE:
The function object will skip over fields that only have
processor, empty, zeroGradient patches. The operation does not
make much sense for these, and it avoids inadvertently
re-processing fields twice.
- implemented using magSqr() instead of sqr().
For scalar fields they are the same, but can be useful
if this function object is extended for more field types.
- Default is a width of 8 characters, but this can be extended up to 31
characters via the '-width' command-line option.
- Now use a similar structure as foamToEnsightParts for the masking.
This reduces the clutter within the directory, makes it easier to
selectively delete some time steps (using shell commands).
- Added in a "time" information data in each sub-directory to
make it possible to reconstruct the case file with an external
script.
- Conversion of cloud data should now also work in parallel
(may need more testing).
- Support binary output for cloud data.
- Better avoidance of illegal ensight variable names.
But still partially incomplete (due to patch fields).
==================================================
Example of NEW file structure:
EnSight/verticalChannel.case # case name
EnSight/geometry # for non-moving geometry
EnSight/data/ # time-varying data
EnSight/data/00000000/
EnSight/data/00000001/
...
Fields are stored by name within the data/********/ directories:
EnSight/data/00000001/time # human-readable time info
EnSight/data/00000001/U
EnSight/data/00000001/p
...
EnSight/data/00000001/geometry # for moving geometry
Clouds are stored at the next sub-directory level:
EnSight/data/00000001/lagrangian/<cloudName>/positions
EnSight/data/00000001/lagrangian/<cloudName>/U
...
==================================================
The old structure was significantly more cluttered:
EnSight/verticalChannel.case
EnSight/verticalChannel.0000.mesh
EnSight/verticalChannel.0001.p
EnSight/verticalChannel.0001.<cloudName>
EnSight/verticalChannel.0001.<cloudName>.U
==================================================
