- separate broadcast times from reduce/gather/scatter time
- separate wait times from all-to-all time
- support invocation counts, split off requests time/count
from others to avoid flooding the counts
- support 'detail' switch to increase the output information.
Format may change in the future
- replaced PstreamBuffers mechanism with globalIndex for both gather
and scatter operations. Use scheduled communication by default, but
is selectable.
- reduced communication with ensemble averaging and no-write
- in makeFaMesh, the serial fields are now only read on the master
process and broadcast to the other ranks. The read+distribute is
almost identical to that used in redistributePar, except that in
this case entire fields are sent and not a zero-sized subset.
- improved internal faMesh checking for files so that the TryNew
method works with distributed roots.
- functionality similar to that provided by foamToEnsight, foamToVTK
which allows blocking out patches (eg, outer walls, inlet/outlet)
that are not particularly interesting to visualize
- new submodels:
- 'equalBinWidth': groups data into bins of equal widths (previous behaviour)
- 'unequalBinWidth': groups data into bins of unequal widths
- output files per time-step are replaced with a single output file
- silently deprecates the input entries: 'setFormat' and 'formatOptions'
- replaced ad hoc handling of formatOptions with coordSetWriter and
surfaceWriter helpers.
Accompanying this change, it is now possible to specify "default"
settings to be inherited, format-specific settings and have a
similar layering with surface-specific overrides.
- snappyHexMesh now conforms to setFormats
Eg,
formatOptions
{
default
{
verbose true;
format binary;
}
vtk
{
precision 10;
}
}
surfaces
{
surf1
{
...
formatOptions
{
ensight
{
scale 1000;
}
}
}
}
- simplifies construction/inheritance
ENH: add {fa,fv}PatchField::zeroGradientType() static
- can be used to avoid literal "zeroGradient" in places
STYLE: adjust naming of pointPatch runtime selection table
- simply use 'patch' as per fa/fv fields
STYLE: add zero-size guard to patch constraintType(const word&)
When a finite-area case could not find an entry for "lnGradSchemes"
in the "faSchemes" file, the "corrected" scheme has been picked up
by default. Therefore, any changes in "snGradSchemes" entry will not
be read by finite-area models.
- barycentric coordinates in interpolation (instead of x/y/z)
- ease U (velocity) requirement.
Needn't be named in the sampled fields.
- default tracking direction is 'forward'
in cases with more than one primal or adjoint solvers
TUT: removed all occurances of useSolverNameForFields
from the optimisation tutorials since it is now set
automatically.
- update the area-centres processor/processor information as part of
faMesh::init() after all of the global data and geometry data is
setup.
- improve flattenEdgeField helper to properly handle empty patches.
This change removes the false fails when testing edge-centre
redistribution (FULLDEBUG mode).
TUT: add filmPanel (rivulet) tutorial
- include constant/faMesh cleanup (cleanFaMesh) as part of standard
cleanCase
- simplify cleanPolyMesh function to now just warn about old
constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict but not try to remove anything
- cleanup cellDist.vtu (decomposePar -dry-run) as well
ENH: foamRunTutorials - fallback to Allrun-parallel, Allrun-serial
TUT: call m4 with file argument instead of redirected stdin
TUT: adjust suffixes on decomposeParDict variants
- simpler to write for sampled cutting planes etc.
For example,
slice
{
type cuttingPlane;
point (0 0 0);
normal (0 0 1);
interpolate true;
}
instead of
slice
{
type cuttingPlane;
planeType pointAndNormal;
pointAndNormalDict
{
point (0 0 0);
normal (0 0 1);
}
interpolate true;
}
STYLE: add noexcept to some plane methods
- can specify rotations that are not "axes" in a compact form:
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation none;
}
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle 45;
}
An expanded dictionary form also remains possible:
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation
{
type axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle 45;
}
}
STYLE: verbose deprecation for "coordinateRotation" keyword
- the "coordinateRotation" keyword was replaced by the "rotation"
keyword (OpenFOAM-v1812 and later) but was handled silently.
Now elevated to non-silent.
STYLE: alias lookups "axesRotation", "EulerRotation", "STARCDRotation"
- these warn and report the equivalent short form, which aids in
upgrading. Previously had silent lookups.
- can be more intuitive to specify for some cases:
rotation
{
type euler;
order rollPitchYaw;
angles (0 20 45);
}
- refactor starcd rotation to reuse Euler ZXY ordering
(code reduction)
ENH: add -rotate-x, -rotate-y, -rotate-z for transformPoints etc
- easier to specify for simple rotations
- this allows more flexibility when defining the location or intensity
of sources.
For example,
{
type scalarSemiImplicitSource;
volumeMode specific;
selectionMode all;
sources
{
tracer0
{
explicit
{
type exprField;
functions<scalar>
{
square
{
type square;
scale 0.0025;
level 0.0025;
frequency 10;
}
}
expression
#{
(hypot(pos().x() + 0.025, pos().y()) < 0.01)
? fn:square(time())
: 0
#};
}
}
}
}
ENH: SemiImplicitSource: handle "sources" with explicit/implicit entries
- essentially the same as injectionRateSuSp with Su/Sp,
but potentially clearer in purpose.
ENH: add Function1 good() method to define if function can be evaluated
- for example, provides a programmatic means of avoiding the 'none'
function
- Previously, the multiFieldValue function object was limited to operate on
lists of fieldValue function objects.
- Any function objects that generate results can now be used, e.g.
pressureAverage
{
type multiFieldValue;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
operation average;
functions
{
inlet
{
type surfaceFieldValue;
operation areaAverage;
regionType patch;
name inlet;
fields (p);
writeFields no;
writeToFile no;
log no;
resultFields (areaAverage(inlet,p));
}
outlet
{
type surfaceFieldValue;
operation areaAverage;
regionType patch;
name outlet;
fields (p);
writeFields no;
writeToFile no;
log no;
}
average
{
type valueAverage;
functionObject testSample1;
fields (average(p));
writeToFile no;
log no;
}
}
}
TUT: cavity: add an example for the multiFieldValue function object
