- for boundary conditions such as uniformFixed, uniformMixed etc the
optional 'value' entry (optional) is used for the initial values and
restarts. Otherwise the various Function1 or PatchFunction1 entries
are evaluated and used determine the boundary condition values.
In most cases this is OK, but in some case such coded or expression
entries with references to other fields it can be problematic since
they may reference fields (eg, phi) that have not yet been created.
For these cases the 'value' entry will be needed: documentation
updated accordingly.
STYLE: eliminate some unneeded/unused declaration headers
- use typeHeaderOk<regIOobject>(false) for some generic file existence
checks. Often had something like labelIOField as a placeholder, but
that may be construed to have a particular something.
- attributes such as assignable(), coupled() etc
- common patchField types: calculatedType(), zeroGradientType() etc.
This simplifies reference to these types without actually needing a
typed patchField version.
ENH: add some basic patchField types to fieldTypes namespace
- allows more general use of the names
ENH: set extrapolated/calculated from patchInternalField directly
- avoids intermediate tmp
ENH: add pTraits and IO for std::int8_t
STYLE: cull some implicitly available includes
- pTraits.H is included by label/scalar etc
- zero.H is included by UList
STYLE: cull redundant forward declarations for Istream/Ostream
- newer naming allows for less confusing code.
Eg,
max(lower) -> clamp_min(lower)
min(upper) -> clamp_max(upper)
- prefer combined method, for few operations.
Eg,
max(lower) + min(upper) -> clamp_range(lower, upper)
The updated naming also helps avoid some obvious coding errors.
Eg,
Re.min(1200.0);
Re.max(18800.0);
instead of
Re.clamp_range(1200.0, 18800.0);
- can also use implicit conversion of zero_one to MinMax<Type> for
this type of code:
lambda_.clamp_range(zero_one{});
- reduces clutter. In some cases the Fwd typedefs were also incorrect
STYLE: combine Scalar specialisations into corresponding PatchFields.C
- reduces clutter, simplifies future adjustments
- use default initialize boundBox instead of invertedBox
- reset() instead of assigning from invertedBox
- extend (three parameter version) and grow method
- inflate(Random) instead of extend + re-assigning
ENH: use direct access to pointHit as point(), use dist(), distSqr()
- if the pointHit has already been checked for hit(), can/should
simply use point() noexcept access subsequently to avoid redundant
checks. Using vector distSqr() methods provides a minor optimization
(no itermediate temporary), but can also make for clearer code.
ENH: copy construct pointIndexHit with different index
- symmetric with constructing from a pointHit with an index
STYLE: prefer pointHit point() instead of rawPoint()
Grid independency studies and grid adaptation for implicit LES/DES are
nontrivial and intractable due to the inherent coupling between spatial
resolution and subgrid-scale modelling.
To enable assessments for LES/DES resolution, a function object of
single-mesh resolution index with three submodels is introduced.
- pattern as per surfaceFieldValue::setFaceZoneFaces()
1. define faceId, facePatchId assuming an internal face
2. if actually a boundary face:
- get facePatchId
- ignore if emptyPolyPatch or coupledPolyPatch (neighbour side)
- get patch relative faceId
This currently seems to be the least amount of code clutter.
ENH: recover some memory my shrinking lists in fluxSummary
BUG: potentially trailing rubbish in the heatExchangerModel lists
- the final resize to length actually used was missing.
Does not affect any released versions
- consistent with sumOp
ENH: globalIndex with gatherNonLocal tag, and use leading dispatch tags
- useful for gather/write where the master data can be written
separately. Leading vs trailing dispatch tags for more similarity to
other C++ conventions.
- 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;
}
}
}
}
- support globalIndex for points/faces as an output parameter,
which allows reuse in subsequent field merge operations.
- make pointMergeMap an optional parameter. This information is not
always required. Eg, if only using gatherAndMerge to combine faces
but without any point fields.
ENH: make globalIndex() noexcept, add globalIndex::clear() method
- stem(), replace_name(), replace_ext(), remove_ext() etc
- string::contains() method - similar to C++23 method
Eg,
if (keyword.contains('/')) ...
vs
if (keyword.find('/') != std::string::npos) ...
- in continuation of #2565 (rotationCentre for surface output formats)
it is helpful to also support READ_IF_PRESENT behaviour for the
'origin' keyword.
This can be safely used wherever the coordinate system definition
is embedded within a sub-dictionary scope.
Eg,
dict1
{
coordinateSystem
{
origin (0 0 0); // now optional here
rotation ...;
}
}
but remains mandatory if constructed without a sub-dict:
dict2
{
origin (0 0 0); // still mandatory
e1 (1 0 0);
e3 (0 0 1);
}
With this change, the "transform" sub-dictionary can written
more naturally:
formatOptions
{
vtk
{
scale 1000; // m -> mm
transform
{
rotationCentre (1 0 0);
rotation axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle -45;
}
}
}
ENH: simplify handling of "coordinateSystem" dictionary lookups
- coordinateSystems::NewIfPresent method for optional entries:
coordSysPtr_ = coordinateSystem::NewIfPresent(mesh, dict);
Instead of
if (dict.found(coordinateSystem::typeName, keyType::LITERAL))
{
coordSysPtr_ =
coordinateSystem::New
(
mesh_,
dict,
coordinateSystem::typeName
);
}
else
{
coordSysPtr_.reset();
}
ENH: more consistent handling of priorities for binModels, forces (#2598)
- if the dictionaries are overspecified, give a 'coordinateSystem'
entry a higher prioriy than the 'CofR' shortcuts.
Was previously slightly inconsistent between the different models.
- previously had 'mandatory' (bool) for advanced control of reading
dictionary entries but its meaning was unclear in the calling code
without extra code comments.
Now use IOobjectOption::readOption instead, which allows further
options (ie, NO_READ) and is more transparent as to its purpose in
the code than a true/false bool flag was.
This is a minor breaking change (infrequent, advanced usage only)
- minor code cleanup in dictionary lookup methods
- read construct from dictionary.
Calling syntax similar to dimensionedType, dimensionedSet,...
Replaces the older getEntry(), getOptional() static methods
- support readIfPresent
- noexcept on some Time methods
ENH: pass through is_oriented() method for clearer coding
- use logical and/or/xor instead of bitwise versions (clearer intent)
