e.g. the motion of two counter-rotating AMI regions could be defined:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh;
solvers
(
rotor1
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor1;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
rotor2
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor2;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega -6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
);
Any combination of motion solvers may be selected but there is no special
handling of motion interaction; the motions are applied sequentially and
potentially cumulatively.
To support this new general framework the solidBodyMotionFvMesh and
multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh dynamicFvMeshes have been converted into the
corresponding motionSolvers solidBody and multiSolidBody and the tutorials
updated to reflect this change e.g. the motion in the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial
is now defined thus:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
solver solidBody;
solidBodyCoeffs
{
cellZone rotor;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
- Recursive searching for objects within a registry is now optional
(previous it was always done).
A recursive search effectively blocks the construction of sub-sub-registries
if their names are 'masked' by some parent level sub-registry with
the same name! (BUG)
- Recursive search is now turned OFF by default, which makes it consistent
with dictionary and probably causes the least number of surprises.

Various new convenience methods added:
lookupObjectRef()
- returns a non-const reference.
For example,
volScalarField& U = mesh().lookupObjectRef<volScalarField>("U");
Instead of
volScalarField& U = const_cast<volScalarField&>
(
mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("U")
);
--
lookupObjectPtr()
- returns a const pointer, and nullptr on failure.
For example,
const volScalarField* Uptr = mesh().lookupObjectPtr<volScalarField>("U");
if (Uptr)
{
const volScalarField& U = *Uptr;
...
}
Instead of
if (mesh().foundObject<volScalarField>("U"))
{
const volScalarField& U = mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("U");
...
}
--
lookupObjectRefPtr()
- returns a non-const pointer, and nullptr on failure.
For example,
volScalarField* Uptr = mesh().lookupObjectRefPtr<volScalarField>("U");
if (Uptr)
{
volScalarField& U = *Uptr; // use as reference
(*Uptr) = ...; // or use directly
}
Instead of
if (mesh().foundObject<volScalarField>("U"))
{
volScalarField& U = const_cast<volScalarField&>
(
mesh().lookupObject<volScalarField>("U")
);
}
--
sortedNames()
- now works with template parameters and with regular expression
matching as well.
For example,
wordList names = mesh().sortedNames();
wordList fields = mesh().sortedName<volScalarField>();
Instead of
wordList names = mesh().sortedNames();
wordList fields = mesh().names<volScalarField>();
Foam::sort(fields);

- all sampled surface types now consistently use the same storage,
which allows some more simplifications in the future.
- before/after comparison of the sampledTriSurfaceMesh tested with
motorbike passenger helmet (serial and parallel). Use the newly added
'keepIds' functionality to retain the original ids, and can also
compare them to the original obj file with "GenerateIds" in paraview.
- this makes it easier to reuse the code, and sampledSurface expect
a face (not a labelledFace), so this also eliminates a translation
level and simplifies memory management.
- before/after comparison of the sampled iso-surfaces tested with
iso-surfaces from interFoam/RAS/angledDuct tutorial (serial and
parallel)
For example,
surfaces
(
helmet
{
type sampledTriSurfaceMesh;
surface motorBike-passenger-helmet.obj;
source cells;
keepIds true; <<-- NEW
}
);
This will create an additional "Ids" field that can be used to sort
or as a faceMap to recover the original face order.
Generates discrete particle data from multiphase calculations by
interrogating the phase fraction field at a faceZone.
Data is written in raw form, i.e. per particle collected, with
as an optional binned distribution
- Removed the camera 'mode'
- The (old) static camera was only appropriate when parallel
projection was inactive, and the view was centred at (0 0 0)
- Camera input now always requires 'position' and 'focalPoint'
- Clip box is now optional. Note that this is applied after the
camera
set-up and so will override the camera position
- View angle is only appropriate when not using parallel projection
- Zoom now required, applied after all other operations
- 1 = do nothing, >1 = zoom in, <1 = zoom out
Example input:
camera
{
// Total number of frames to generate
nFrameTotal 1;
// Parallel projection flag
parallelProjection no;
// Optional clippling box
clipBox (-0.0206 -0.0254 -0.0005) (0.29 0.0254 0.0005);
focalPoint (0 0 0);
up (0 1 0);
position (0 0 1);
viewAngle 20;
zoom 1.1;
}
Feature noise multiple files
Enabled pointNoise and surfaceNoise models to operate on multiple input files
- For each model, the files should be specified by the `inputFiles` keyword
- When applied to pointNoise, the file is no longer required when specifying the CSV input data
- the singular `inputFile` entry is still available to the surfaceNoise model for backwards compatibilty
See merge request !80
to avoid duplicate instantiation of the thermodynamics package.
The 'zoneCombustion' model is now selected in constant/combustionProperties by
either
combustionModel zoneCombustion<psiCombustionModel>;
or
combustionModel zoneCombustion<rhoCombustionModel>;
as appropriate.

- provides support for manipulating polyMesh/boundary
- changed behaviour of disableFunctionEntries option to preserve
#include
- dictionary: added reading of lists of dictionaries.
+ each list element may be accessed using the 'entryDDD' keyword
according to their list index.
Patch contributed by Mattijs Janssens
- these directories are sometimes used for a central, non-thirdparty, non-system
installation
- leave gmp and mpfr as is, since it is not clear how these would interact with system
versions
cellZones and pointZones can now be created in one action without the
need to first create a cellSet or pointSet and converting that to the
corresponding zone, e.g.
actions
(
// Example: create cellZone from a box region
{
name c0;
type cellZoneSet;
action new;
source boxToCell;
sourceInfo
{
box (0.04 0 0)(0.06 100 100);
}
}
);
postProcess -func MachNo
previously generated the warning
Executing functionObjects
--> FOAM Warning : functionObjects::MachNo MachNo cannot find required field U
which is incorrect; the field 'U' is available but the
thermophysicalProperties is not. Now 'postProcess' generates the
warning:
Executing functionObjects
--> FOAM Warning : functionObjects::MachNo MachNo cannot find required object thermophysicalProperties of type fluidThermo
--> FOAM Warning : functionObjects::MachNo MachNo failed to execute.
