- suppress error messages that appear with zsh.
According to unset(1p), 'unset -f' unsets a function.
If the function was not previously defined, this is a no-op.
This is similar for zsh, but there it emits a warning if the
function was not previously defined.
- avoid 'local' in functions sources from etc/bashrc.
ksh does not support this.
- use 'command' shell builtin instead of 'type'.
Seems to be more consistent between shell flavours.
except turbulence and lagrangian which will also be updated shortly.
For example in the nonNewtonianIcoFoam offsetCylinder tutorial the viscosity
model coefficients may be specified in the corresponding "<type>Coeffs"
sub-dictionary:
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
CrossPowerLawCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
}
BirdCarreauCoeffs
{
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-06;
k [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 1;
}
which allows a quick change between models, or using the simpler
transportModel CrossPowerLaw;
nu0 [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 0.01;
nuInf [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 10;
m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0] 0.4;
n [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 3;
if quick switching between models is not required.
To support this more convenient parameter specification the inconsistent
specification of seedSampleSet in the streamLine and wallBoundedStreamLine
functionObjects had to be corrected from
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet uniform; //cloud; //triSurfaceMeshPointSet;
uniformCoeffs
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
to the simpler
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
which also support the "<type>Coeffs" form
// Seeding method.
seedSampleSet
{
type uniform;
uniformCoeffs
{
axis x; //distance;
// Note: tracks slightly offset so as not to be on a face
start (-1.001 -0.05 0.0011);
end (-1.001 -0.05 1.0011);
nPoints 20;
}
}
- if called from the top-level project directory ($WM_PROJECT_DIR)
default to using {applications,src} directories. This avoids
erroneous linking of etc/codeTemplates and avoids the lengthy
scanning of the tutorials directory
- use InfoSwitch to disable, or via static method.
- respect the state of the argList banner when deciding to emit
initialization information. Can otherwise end up with unwanted
output rubbish on things like foamDictionary and foamListTimes.
The typical topology is the one where boundary faces share non-consecutive
points (checkMesh reports this as 'Number of faces with non-consecutive shared points')
This is handled by no-extruding any of the vertices of both faces. Fixes#391.
Radiative heat transfer may now be added to any solver in which an energy
equation is solved at run-time rather than having to change the solver code.
For example, radiative heat transfer is now enabled in the SandiaD_LTS
reactingFoam tutorial by providing a constant/fvOptions file containing
radiation
{
type radiation;
libs ("libradiationModels.so");
}
and appropriate settings in the constant/radiationProperties file.
For example the porosity coefficients may now be specified thus:
porosity1
{
type DarcyForchheimer;
cellZone porosity;
d (5e7 -1000 -1000);
f (0 0 0);
coordinateSystem
{
type cartesian;
origin (0 0 0);
coordinateRotation
{
type axesRotation;
e1 (0.70710678 0.70710678 0);
e2 (0 0 1);
}
}
}
rather than
porosity1
{
type DarcyForchheimer;
active yes;
cellZone porosity;
DarcyForchheimerCoeffs
{
d (5e7 -1000 -1000);
f (0 0 0);
coordinateSystem
{
type cartesian;
origin (0 0 0);
coordinateRotation
{
type axesRotation;
e1 (0.70710678 0.70710678 0);
e2 (0 0 1);
}
}
}
}
support for which is maintained for backward compatibility.
For example the actuationDiskSource fvOption may now be specified
disk1
{
type actuationDiskSource;
fields (U);
selectionMode cellSet;
cellSet actuationDisk1;
diskDir (1 0 0); // Orientation of the disk
Cp 0.386;
Ct 0.58;
diskArea 40;
upstreamPoint (581849 4785810 1065);
}
rather than
disk1
{
type actuationDiskSource;
active on;
actuationDiskSourceCoeffs
{
fields (U);
selectionMode cellSet;
cellSet actuationDisk1;
diskDir (1 0 0); // Orientation of the disk
Cp 0.386;
Ct 0.58;
diskArea 40;
upstreamPoint (581849 4785810 1065);
}
}
but this form is supported for backward compatibility.
Main changes in the tutorial:
- General cleanup of the phaseProperties of unnecessary entries
- sensibleEnthalpy is used for both phases
- setTimeStep functionObject is used to set a sharp reduction in time step near the start of the injection
- Monitoring of pressure minimum and maximum
Patch contributed by Juho Peltola, VTT.
- This can be used as a convenient alternative to comparing against end().
Eg,
dictionaryConstructorTable::iterator cstrIter =
dictionaryConstructorTablePtr_->find(methodType);
if (cstrIter.found())
{
...
}
vs.
if (cstrIter != dictionaryConstructorTablePtr_->end())
{
...
}
- 1st problem arises when there are edges, but edgeNormals is empty.
The UIndirectList fails (zero elements, non-zero addressing)
- further problem occurs if there is a mismatch in the number of edges
and edges normals (incorrect indexing on loop).
The standard naming convention for heat flux is "q" and this is used for the
conductive and convective heat fluxes is OpenFOAM. The use of "Qr" for
radiative heat flux is an anomaly which causes confusion, particularly for
boundary conditions in which "Q" is used to denote power in Watts. The name of
the radiative heat flux has now been corrected to "qr" and all models, boundary
conditions and tutorials updated.
by combining with and rationalizing functionality from
turbulentHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.
externalWallHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField now replaces
turbulentHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField which is no longer needed and has
been removed.
Description
This boundary condition applies a heat flux condition to temperature
on an external wall in one of three modes:
- fixed power: supply Q
- fixed heat flux: supply q
- fixed heat transfer coefficient: supply h and Ta
where:
\vartable
Q | Power [W]
q | Heat flux [W/m^2]
h | Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
Ta | Ambient temperature [K]
\endvartable
For heat transfer coefficient mode optional thin thermal layer resistances
can be specified through thicknessLayers and kappaLayers entries.
The thermal conductivity \c kappa can either be retrieved from various
possible sources, as detailed in the class temperatureCoupledBase.
Usage

Property | Description | Required | Default value

h | Heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K] | for mode 'coefficent' |
Ta | Ambient temperature [K] | for mode 'coefficient' |
thicknessLayers | Layer thicknesses [m] | no |
kappaLayers | Layer thermal conductivities [W/m/K] | no |

Ta uniform 300.0;
h uniform 10.0;
