Also added the new prghTotalHydrostaticPressure p_rgh BC which uses the
hydrostatic pressure field as the reference state for the far-field
which provides much more accurate entrainment is large open domains
typical of many fire simulations.

The hydrostatic field solution is controlled by the optional entries in
the fvSolution.PIMPLE dictionary, e.g.

    hydrostaticInitialization yes;
    nHydrostaticCorrectors 5;

and the solver must also be specified for the hydrostatic p_rgh field
ph_rgh e.g.

    ph_rgh
    {
        $p_rgh;
    }

Suitable boundary conditions for ph_rgh cannot always be derived from
those for p_rgh and so the ph_rgh is read to provide them.

To avoid accuracy issues with IO, restart and post-processing the p_rgh
and ph_rgh the option to specify a suitable reference pressure is
provided via the optional pRef file in the constant directory, e.g.

    dimensions      [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];
    value           ...

The new JohnsonJacksonSchaefferFrictionalStress model is included and
the LBend tutorial case to demonstrate the need for the changes to the
frictional stress models.

Now the calculation of the 2nd-invariant is more efficient and
accumulates less round-off error.

Now internal forces and restraints may be applied between bodies within
the articulated structure.

The joint-space dynamics is solved on the master processor only and the
resulting joint-state distributed to the slave processors on which the
body-state is then updated.  This guarantees consistency of the body
position and orientation on all processors.

rigidBodyDynamics/bodies/sphere: Added support for the centre of mass being offset from the centre of rotation

Calculate the inertia from the lengths of the sides

Particularly useful for lists of dictionaries.

rigidBodyMeshMotion: displacementMotionSolver for the mesh-motion of multiple articulated rigid-bodies

The motion of the bodies is integrated using the rigidBodyDynamics
library with joints, restraints and external forces.

The mesh-motion is interpolated using septernion averaging.

This development is sponsored by Carnegie Wave Energy Ltd.

Using method based on

but simplified for the case where the quaternions are similar.
