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.
Description
Constrain the field values within a specified region.
For example to set the turbulence properties within a porous region:
\verbatim
porosityTurbulence
{
type scalarFixedValueConstraint;
active yes;
scalarFixedValueConstraintCoeffs
{
selectionMode cellZone;
cellZone porosity;
fieldValues
{
k 30.7;
epsilon 1.5;
}
}
}
\endverbatim
See tutorials/compressible/rhoSimpleFoam/angledDuctExplicitFixedCoeff
constant/fvOptions for an example of this fvOption in action.
by introducing rational base-classes rather than using the hideous
'switch' statement. Further rationalization of the cell-selection
mechanism will be implemented via an appropriate class hierarchy to
replace the remaining 'switch' statement.
Mesh-motion is currently handled very inefficiently for cellSets and not
at all for inter-region coupling. The former will be improved when the
cell-selection classes are written and the latter by making the
meshToMesh class a MeshObject after it has been corrected for mapFields.
fvOptions does not have the appropriate structure to support MRF as it
is based on option selection by user-specified fields whereas MRF MUST
be applied to all velocity fields in the particular solver. A
consequence of the particular design choices in fvOptions made it
difficult to support MRF for multiphase and it is easier to support
frame-related and field related options separately.
Currently the MRF functionality provided supports only rotations but
the structure will be generalized to support other frame motions
including linear acceleration, SRF rotation and 6DoF which will be
run-time selectable.
