- with alternative faceCell addressing, use the three-parameter
version only. This avoids potential future ambiguity with the
two-parameter version (eg, with a label type)
ENH: add faPatchField patchInternalField() for symmetry with fvPatchField
ENH: direct reference to mesh thisDb instead of inferring
ENH: pointMesh::boundaryMesh() method (eg, similar to fvMesh)
- UPstream::Request wrapping class provides an opaque wrapper for
vendor MPI_Request values, independent of global lists.
ENH: support for MPI barrier (blocking or non-blocking)
ENH: support for MPI sync-send variants
STYLE: deprecate waitRequests() without a position parameter
- in many cases this can indicate a problem in the program logic since
normally the startOfRequests should be tracked locally.
- reduces clutter. In some cases the Fwd typedefs were also incorrect
STYLE: combine Scalar specialisations into corresponding PatchFields.C
- reduces clutter, simplifies future adjustments
- simplifies code, consistent with other matrix transfer functions.
Use a setter method.
STYLE: AMIInterpolation::upToDate(bool) setter method
ENH: add guards to avoid float-compressed transfer of integral types
STYLE: drop unused debug member from abstract interface classes
- now simply a no-op for out-of-range values (instead of an error),
which simplifies the calling code.
Previously
==========
if (request_ >= 0 && request_ < UPstream::nRequests())
{
UPstream::waitRequest(request_);
}
Updated
=======
UPstream::waitRequest(request_);
- when 'recycling' freed request indices, ensure they are actually
within the currently addressable range
- MPI finalization now checks outstanding requests against
MPI_REQUEST_NULL to verify that they have been waited or tested on.
Previously simply checked against freed request indices
ENH: consistent initialisation of send/receive bookkeeping
- old logic (v2206 and earlier) always disabled writing on non-master,
but other parts of the code were more recently updated to use lazy
evaluation of surface data (with parallel communication)
- now retain full write/no-write logic identically on all ranks. Take
care of master/non-master at the final output stage.
It has been observed that the finite-area framework is prone to numerical
issues when zero-valued edge lenghts, edge/face normals and face areas exist.
To improve exception handling at identified code sections to gracefully
overcome math errors, the problematic entities are lower-bounded by SMALL.
Specified using the optional 'omega' entry (Function1 type), e.g. for a constant
value:
omega 12.56;
Note that the swirl contribution is applied in addition to the velocity set by
the 'flowType' option. For example, for the 'constantVelocity' option, parcels
are initially set the velocity according to the UMag and direction/cone angle;
the swirl velocity is then added.
- similar to surface writing formats, also support optional
dictionary of reading options. The main beneficiary of this is the
ensight surface reader:
readOptions
{
ensight
{
masterOnly true;
}
}
This will restrict reading to the master rank. Surfaces and values
read will be broadcast to the other ranks, with the intention of
reducing load on the filesystem.
ENH: add writing of Dimensioned fields for areaWrite functionObject
- can be useful for examining finite-area source terms
