- missed detection of system libraries when installed with multiarch
paths like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
CONFIG: improve handling of group/user config files (#928)
- changed bashrc handling of FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER to use
FOAM_CONFIG_MODE instead. Propagate into foamEtcFile to make this
a stickier control.
This change allows better control, but also enables cluster
installations to define their own value within the OpenFOAM prefs.sh
file to prevent users accidentally mis-configuring things if
necessary.
- remove undocumented handling of an (a)ll mode in foamEtcFile to
avoid potential pitfalls.
- add support for FOAM_CONFIG_ETC handling.
This allows injection of an extra search layer when finding
project etc files
ENH: improvements to foamConfigurePaths (#928)
- handle FOAM_CONFIG_ETC implicitly, or explicitly with the new
-etc option.
STYLE: more explicit wording in foamConfigurePaths usage (#1602)
- document that an absolute path (eg, -scotch-path) overrides/ignores
the equivalent ThirdParty setting (eg, -scotch)
- longer options -system-compiler and -third-compiler for -system
and -third, respectively. Clearer as to their purpose.
- adjust the location sanity check to look for META-INFO directory.
- '-c' option (as per shell), '-Dkey[=value]' option to provide
preferences via the command-line. For example,
etc/openfoam -DWM_COMPILER=Clang -int64 ./Allwmake -j -s -l
These can also be combined with other options. Eg,
etc/openfoam -DWM_COMPILER=Clang \
-c 'wmake -show-path-cxx -show-cxxflags'
- relocated from bin/tools/ => etc/ for easier access
- bin/tools/openfoam.in : for autoconfig-style installation
- Auto-detect if the shell script was executed with openfoam and
interpret accordingly.
Simple example,
--------------
#!/usr/bin/openfoam
cd "${0%/*}" || exit # Run -*-sh-*- from this dir
blockMesh
simpleFoam
--------------
Note it is NOT currently possible to provide any other parameters
this way. Eg,
`#!/usr/bin/openfoam -sp` (NOT)
This will either fail to run, or result in infinite recursion.
- simplifies code, covers most cases.
Can use wmake -show-api or wmakeBuildInfo to query the make rules.
STYLE: Allwmake script adjustments
- use bin/foamEtcFile instead of relying on PATH.
The make environment may not have the OpenFOAM bin/ in it.
- simpler shell syntax
- the foamConfigurePaths script is quite simplistic and aggressive in
what it changes. This was particularly evident when using it to
change gcc/clang versions.
Restructured the corresponding compiler settings to define default
versions (eg, "default_gcc_version") that limits the scope of
changes performed by foamConfigurePaths and makes it easier to
understand if changing manually.
- save in META-INFO/build-info for later re-compilation without git.
This improves tracking beyond simply referring to the the patch level.
The information is tagged with an underscore to distinguish from
"real" build information when git is available.
STYLE: improved shell syntax, pushd/popd guards etc.
For example,
$ someSolver -info-switch writeOptionalEntries
- note that values changed via the command-line are changed after the
etc/controlDict entries, but *before* any case-local
system/controlDict entries.
However, in many testing cases the command-line options eliminate
the need for such local file modifications.
ENH: cleanup handling of local debug switches in Time
- add as methods directly on simpleObjectRegistry to avoid code
duplication
STYLE: adjust internal naming of ITstream parameters
- call also be used non-interactively for simple 'one-shot' use of
OpenFOAM utilities or solvers
STYLE: use dash instead of brackets for '- see www.OpenFOAM.com'
- less cluttered in combination with API information
- foamExec was removed as part of commit 6c68c34e1a but
overlooked the fact that it is partly still needed by foamJob.
When running in parallel, it is used to source the etc/bashrc env.
Reinstated a stripped down form, which has been relocated to
bin/tools directory (it should not be directly called by the user).
The previous version switching functionality has nonetheless be
dropped since it only worked only when a rigid naming convention for
OpenFOAM installations was followed.
ENH: add foamJob log=, -log-app, -no-log options, improved coding quality
- add a '-SPDP' option
- remove the '-archOption' for forcing a '-m32' build on 64-bit
architecture, which is now considered too obscure.
Must edit files manually if this option is really required.
A set of libraries and executables creating a workflow for performing
gradient-based optimisation loops. The main executable (adjointOptimisationFoam)
solves the flow (primal) equations, followed by the adjoint equations and,
eventually, the computation of sensitivity derivatives.
Current functionality supports the solution of the adjoint equations for
incompressible turbulent flows, including the adjoint to the Spalart-Allmaras
turbulence model and the adjoint to the nutUSpaldingWallFunction, [1], [2].
Sensitivity derivatives are computed with respect to the normal displacement of
boundary wall nodes/faces (the so-called sensitivity maps) following the
Enhanced Surface Integrals (E-SI) formulation, [3].
