- old convention was that on last time step it would only call end()
and not execute()
- however this meant that e.g. the functionObjectProperties file
did not get written
- and almost all functionObjects were doing an execute() inside of end()
- new convention: call execute() on last time step, just before doing end()
Updated objects
- corrected Peclet number for compressible cases
- propagated log flag and resultName across objects
New function objects
- new fluxSummary:
- calculates positive, negative, absolute and net flux across face
zones
- new runTimeControl
- abort the calculation when a user-defined metric is achieved.
Available options include:
- average value remains unchanged wrt a given threshold
- equation initial residual exceeds a threshold - useful to abort
diverging cases
- equation max iterations exceeds a threshold - useful to abort
diverging cases
- min/max of a function object value
- min time step exceeds a threshold - useful to abort diverging
cases
- new valueAverage:
- average singular values from other function objects, e.g. Cd, Cl and
Cm from the forceCoeffs function object
Class now provides helper functions to generate files on-the-fly by
function objects, as opposed to attempting to control all files needed
by the function object (earlier implementation lead to over-complication
and was error prone)
This new class provides function objects with a database (dictionary)
to store current state information to enable smooth restart behaviour.
Additionally, current results can be stored so that they can be accessed
between different objects.
Previous behavior which may be useful for moving-mesh cases can be
selected using the optional entry:
writeTotalArea yes;
The initial total area is written in the log and data file header e.g.:
# Source : faceZone f0
# Faces : 8
# Area : 1.063860e-02
Time::adjustDeltaT(). It allows function objects to manipulate the time step to
dump at adjustable times. The following options are available for output in
function objects: timeStep, outputTime, adjustableTime, runTime, clockTime
and cpuTime.
end of Time::operator++. This allows to know if the next timeIndex will be
a dumping time. The function object "partialWrite" modifyes the write option
of the those fields which will be written down at given intervals of the overall
outout times.
