- csearch(), search(), csearchScoped(), searchScoped() methods
  can be used to find an entry and also retain the enclosing
  dictionary context.

- To avoid ambiguity between a dot (.) as a scoping character and
  legal part of a keyword, entries can now be accessed directly using
  slash-scoping semantics similar to file-names:

    * cfindScopedDictPtr, findScopedDictPtr

- To get or create a sub-dictionary entry:

    * makeScopedDictPtr, which behaves similarly to mkdirp in that it
      will create any intermediate dictionaries as required.

Style list methods

See merge request !157

- this increases the flexibility of the interface

- Add stringOps 'natural' string sorting comparison.
  Digits are sorted in their natural order, which means that
      (file10.txt file05.txt file2.txt)
  are sorted as
      (file2.txt file05.txt file10.txt)

STYLE: consistent naming of template parameters for comparators

  - Compare for normal binary predicates
  - ListComparePredicate for list compare binary predicates

- similar to word::validate to allow stripping of invalid characters
  without triggering a FatalError.

- use this validated fileName in Foam::readDir to avoid problems when
  a directory contains files with invalid characters in their names

- adjust rmDir to handle filenames with invalid characters

- fileName::equals() static method to compare strings while ignoring
  any differences that are solely due to duplicate slashes

- more consistent naming:
  * Versions that hold and manage their own memory:
      IListStream, OListStream

  * Versions that reference a fixed size external memory:
      UIListStream, UOListStream

- use List storage instead of DynamicList within OListStream.
  Avoids duplicate bookkeeping, more direct handling of resizing.

- makes it accessible for containers that manage their own storage
  and derive directly from UList.

- DynamicList::min_size() method to access the corresponding
  SizeMin template parameter.

- ensure consistency in the reserve size for the constructor

      DynamicList<..> lst(N);

  now has identical sizing as

      DynamicList<..> lst();
      reserve(N);

ENH: Arrhenius viscocity model for incompressible viscocity

See merge request !155

sergio authored 7 years ago and Mark OLESEN committed 7 years ago

- Arrhenius viscocity model for incompressible viscocity.

- energyTransport FO for incompressible single and multiple phase
  flows and viscousDissipation fvOption source.

- Tutorial to show the use of energyTransport:
     multiphase/multiphaseInterFoam/laminar/mixerVessel2D

- Tutorial to show viscousDissipation:
     compressible/rhoPimpleFoam/RAS/TJunction

- The problem occurs when using atof to parse values such as "1e-39"
  since this is out of range for a float and _can_ set errno to
  ERANGE.

  Similar to parsing of integers, now parse with the longest floating
  point representation "long double" via strtold (guaranteed to be
  part of C++11) and verify against the respective VGREAT values for
  overflow. Treat anything smaller than VSMALL to be zero.

CONFIG: add settings for Cray compiler and cray mpich

See merge request !138

- the cray C/C++ compilers appear to be option-compatible with gcc.

- no wmake rules for 32bit builds (deemed to be unnecessary)

low-level binary Ostream output, additional stream classes

See merge request !156

- reduce coding clutter, avoiding allocated pointers when possible.
  IFstream and OFstream continue to use pointers since they handle
  compressed files, other streams can do without them.

- an output stream to a DynamicList

- these provide a similar functionality to string-streams, but operate
  on a externally provided memory buffer which can be used to reduce
  the amount of copying.

- classes were previously staged as part of the ADIOS community
  repository.

- for convenience and symmetry with OStringStream

STYLE: void return value for stream rewind() methods

- this makes it easier to design bidirectional streams

- low-level beginRaw(), writeRaw(), endRaw() methods.
  These can be used to directly add '()' decorators for serial output
  or prepare/cleanup parallel buffers.
  Used, for example, when outputting indirect lists in binary to avoid.

- now use public functions instead of direct access of private 'capacity_'
  information

- makes it easier to transmit or stream as a list of scalars

- the USE_OMP preprocessor symbol is also defined with the openmp
  compile flag to allow conditional compilation of openmp-specific
  code.

- better documentation of the file contents.
- quicker to obtain number of blocks without reading an entire file.
