Adds overset discretisation to selected physics:
- diffusion : overLaplacianDyMFoam
- incompressible steady : overSimpleFoam
- incompressible transient : overPimpleDyMFoam
- compressible transient: overRhoPimpleDyMFoam
- two-phase VOF: overInterDyMFoam
The overset method chosen is a parallel, fully implicit implementation
whereby the interpolation (from donor to acceptor) is inserted as an
adapted discretisation on the donor cells, such that the resulting matrix
can be solved using the standard linear solvers.
Above solvers come with a set of tutorials, showing how to create and set-up
simple simulations from scratch.
- Use on/off vs longer compressed/uncompressed.
For consistency, replaced yes/no with on/off.
- Avoid the combination of binary/compressed,
which is disallowed and provokes a warning anyhow

- with the xml append format it is possible to write raw binary
(instead of base64), but the writer becomes more complicated.
Either needs two passes to create, or need to allocate a block
of space for the header information (like VTK itself does) and
write later.
* internalWriter
* patchWriter
* surfaceMeshWriter
* lagrangianWriter
Also these special purpose ones:
* foamVtkWriteSurfFields
- this shifts responsibility away from caller to the individual writers
for knowing which file formats are supported and which file ending is
appropriate. When the writer receives the output format request,
it can elect to downgrade or otherwise adjust it to what it can
actually manage (eg, legacy vs xml vs xml-append).
But currently still just with legacy format backends.
- The reader module allows two levels of caching.
The OpenFOAM fvMesh can be cached in memory, for faster loading of
fields. Additionally, the translated VTK geometries are held in a
local cache. The cached VTK geometries should incur no additional
overhead since they use the VTK reference counting for their storage
management.
"pos" now returns 1 if the argument is greater than 0, otherwise it returns 0.
This is consistent with the common mathematical definition of the "pos" function:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_(mathematics)
However the previous implementation in which 1 was also returned for a 0
argument is useful in many situations so the "pos0" has been added which returns
1 if the argument is greater or equal to 0. Additionally the "neg0" has been
added which returns 1 if if the argument is less than or equal to 0.
Original commit message:
------------------------
Parallel IO: New collated file format
When an OpenFOAM simulation runs in parallel, the data for decomposed fields and
mesh(es) has historically been stored in multiple files within separate
directories for each processor. Processor directories are named 'processorN',
where N is the processor number.
This commit introduces an alternative "collated" file format where the data for
each decomposed field (and mesh) is collated into a single file, which is
written and read on the master processor. The files are stored in a single
directory named 'processors'.
The new format produces significantly fewer files - one per field, instead of N
per field. For large parallel cases, this avoids the restriction on the number
of open files imposed by the operating system limits.
The file writing can be threaded allowing the simulation to continue running
while the data is being written to file. NFS (Network File System) is not
needed when using the the collated format and additionally, there is an option
to run without NFS with the original uncollated approach, known as
"masterUncollated".
The controls for the file handling are in the OptimisationSwitches of
etc/controlDict:
OptimisationSwitches
{
...
//- Parallel IO file handler
// uncollated (default), collated or masterUncollated
fileHandler uncollated;
//- collated: thread buffer size for queued file writes.
// If set to 0 or not sufficient for the file size threading is not used.
// Default: 2e9
maxThreadFileBufferSize 2e9;
//- masterUncollated: non-blocking buffer size.
// If the file exceeds this buffer size scheduled transfer is used.
// Default: 2e9
maxMasterFileBufferSize 2e9;
}
When using the collated file handling, memory is allocated for the data in the
thread. maxThreadFileBufferSize sets the maximum size of memory in bytes that
is allocated. If the data exceeds this size, the write does not use threading.
When using the masterUncollated file handling, non-blocking MPI communication
requires a sufficiently large memory buffer on the master node.
maxMasterFileBufferSize sets the maximum size in bytes of the buffer. If the
data exceeds this size, the system uses scheduled communication.
The installation defaults for the fileHandler choice, maxThreadFileBufferSize
and maxMasterFileBufferSize (set in etc/controlDict) can be over-ridden within
the case controlDict file, like other parameters. Additionally the fileHandler
can be set by:
- the "-fileHandler" command line argument;
- a FOAM_FILEHANDLER environment variable.
A foamFormatConvert utility allows users to convert files between the collated
and uncollated formats, e.g.
mpirun -np 2 foamFormatConvert -parallel -fileHandler uncollated
An example case demonstrating the file handling methods is provided in:
$FOAM_TUTORIALS/IO/fileHandling
The work was undertaken by Mattijs Janssens, in collaboration with Henry Weller.

- this allows filling in the VTK structures without intermediate data
and without sequencial insertion. Should be faster and smaller
than the previous cell-wise insertion methods.
Most importantly, it improves code reuse.
- has the selected values directly and use these lookup names to store
directly into a hash. This replaces several parallel lists of
decomp information etc and makes it easier.
This is important when LTS stepping or large Co number is used.
