Mark Olesen 3d5fb08693 ENH: provide separate geometry description per region/patch (issue #278)
- Also fixed bug noted in issue #269

- Previous implementation had all faces together, which made
  it difficult (impossible) for external applications to
  figure out which geometry was being referred to.

- Provide separate region/patches as follows:

    // Patch: <regionName> <patchName>

  For example,

    // Group: coupleGroup
    // Patch: heater minY
    8( ... )

  The region-name is always present, even if there is only one region.

- This change is a partial reversion to the behaviour in 2.4.x, except
  that we can now also handle multi-region geometries.

  Changing the leading comment from "# " to "// " facilitates parsing
  of the files with OpenFOAM itself if necessary.

Description
This functionObject provides a simple interface for explicit coupling with
an external application. The coupling is through plain text files
where OpenFOAM boundary data is read/written as one line per face
(data from all processors collated):
# Patch: <patch name>
<fld1> <fld2> .. <fldn> //face0
<fld1> <fld2> .. <fldn> //face1
..
<fld1> <fld2> .. <fldn> //faceN
where the actual entries depend on the bc type:
- mixed: value, snGrad, refValue, refGrad, valueFraction
- externalCoupledMixed: output of writeData
- other: value, snGrad
These text files are located in a user specified communications directory
which gets read/written on the master processor only. In the
communications directory the structure will be
<regionsName>/<patchGroup>/<fieldName>.[in|out]
(where regionsName is either the name of a single region or a composite
of multiple region names)
At start-up, the boundary creates a lock file, i.e..
OpenFOAM.lock
... to signal the external source to wait. During the functionObject
execution the boundary values are written to files (one per region,
per patch(group), per field), e.g.
<regionsName>/<patchGroup>/<fieldName>.out
The lock file is then removed, instructing the external source to take
control of the program execution. When ready, the external program
should create the return values, e.g. to files
<regionsName>/<patchGroup>/<fieldName>.in
... and then re-instate the lock file. The functionObject will then
read these values, apply them to the boundary conditions and pass
program execution back to OpenFOAM.
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
externalCoupled
{
type externalCoupled;
...
log yes;
commsDir "${FOAM_CASE}/comms";
initByExternal yes;
stateEnd remove; // (remove | done)
regions
{
"(region1|region0)" // Name of region(s)
{
TPatchGroup // Name of patch(group)
{
readFields (p); // List of fields to read
writeFields (T); // List of fields to write
}
}
}
}
\endverbatim
This reads/writes (on the master processor) the directory:
comms/region0_region1/TPatchGroup/
with contents:
patchPoints (collected points)
patchFaces (collected faces)
p.in (input file of p, written by external application)
T.out (output file of T, written by OpenFOAM)
The patchPoints/patchFaces files denote the (collated) geometry
which will be written if it does not exist yet or can be written as
a preprocessing step using the createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry
application.
