- base level surface container is now a meshedSurface instead of
a triSurface. This avoid automatic triangulation of surfaces
when they are read, and simplifies the internals.
- sampling types:
* "meshedSurface" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMesh")
* "meshedSurfaceNormal" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMeshNormal")
- kEpsilonPhitF is a kEpsilon-based model which originated
from (Durbin, 1995)’s v2-f methodology. However, the majority of
v2-f model variants proved to be numerically stiff for segregated
solution algorithms due to the coupled formulations of v2 and f fields,
particularly on wall boundaries.
The v2-f variant (i.e. OpenFOAM’s v2f model) due to
(Lien and Kalitzin, 2001) reformulated the original v2-f model to enable
segregated computations; however, a number of shortcomings regarding
the model fidelity were reported in the literature.
To overcome the shortcomings of the v2-f methodology, the v2-f approach
was re-evaluated by (Laurence et al., 2005) by transforming v2 scale into
its equivalent non-dimensional form, i.e. phit, to reduce the numerical
stiffness.
This variant, i.e. kEpsilonPhitF, is believed to provide numerical
robustness, and insensitivity to grid anomalies while retaining the
theoretical model fidelity of the original v2-f model.
Accordingly the v2f RANS model is deprecated in favour of the variant
kEpsilonPhitF model.
- use sed instead of foamDictionary and avoid log file
- ensure consistent behaviour with plot script
GIT: added missing 0/k field : inlet values still need adjustment
- Extended runTimePostProcessing to include access to "live"
simulation objects such a geometry patches and sampled surfaces
stored on the "functionObjectObjects" registry.
- Add 'live' runTimePostProcessing of cloud data.
Extracts position and fields from the cloud via its objectRegistry writer
- For the "live" simulation objects, there are two new volume filters
that work directly with the OpenFOAM volume fields:
* iso-surface
* cutting planes
Both use the VTK algorithms directly and support multiple values.
Eg, can make multiple iso-levels or multiple planes parallel to each
other.
- When VTK has been compiled with MPI-support, parallel rendering will
be used.
- Additional title text properties (shadow, italic etc)
- Simplified handling of scalar-bar and visibility switches
- Support multiple text positions. Eg, for adding watermark text.
- fits better into the general sampling framework, improves flexibilty
and allows code reduction.
ENH: include surface fields on sampledSurfaces that support it
