Mark Olesen 8a7221cf50 TUT: update tutorials to use dictionary-style sets
- can now specify sampled sets as dictionary entries instead of a list
  entry.
    can now use:  sets { ... }
    instead of:   sets ( ... );

  This is similar to sampled surfaces and makes it easier to
  manage with dictionary manipulation tools.

TUT: update to use writeTime instead of outputTime

Steady flow over a 2D backward facing step

This canonical case is based on the description by Driver and Seegmiller

D.M. Driver and H.L. Seegmiller. Features of a reattaching turbulent shear
layer in divergent channel flow. AIAA Journal, 23(2):163171, 1985.

where the mesh is based on the Langley Research Center Turbulence Modeling Resource set-up provided at:

https://turbmodels.larc.nasa.gov/backstep_val.html

The Reynolds number based on the step height is Reh 36000 for which the stated reattachment length is at 6.26 +/- 0.1 x/h

The Allrun script will run the case and generate graphs showing the wall shear stress and velocity profiles at various cross-sections.
