      tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily: Change to use SIMPLEC · 633fee4f
      Henry Weller authored
      With the SIMPLE "consistent" option and optimized relaxation factors
      this tutorial now converges in 210 iterations, previously with SIMPLE it
      took 950.  Despite the increase in cost per time-step due to the
      increase in relaxation factors and number of solver iterations the
      speed-up is 3.5x.

      reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam: New twoPhaseEulerFoam supporting mass-transfer and reactions · 3ed90ae7
      Henry Weller authored
      Multi-species, mass-transfer and reaction support and multi-phase
      structure provided by William Bainbridge.
      
      Integration of the latest p-U and face-p_U algorithms with William's
      multi-phase structure is not quite complete due to design
      incompatibilities which needs further development.  However the
      integration of the functionality is complete.
      
      The results of the tutorials are not exactly the same for the
      twoPhaseEulerFoam and reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam solvers but are very
      similar.  Further analysis in needed to ensure these differences are
      physical or to resolve them; in the meantime the twoPhaseEulerFoam
      solver will be maintained.

      fvOptions: Separate options for all cells, cellSets and inter-region coupling · b8d15ba4
      Henry authored
      by introducing rational base-classes rather than using the hideous
      'switch' statement.  Further rationalization of the cell-selection
      mechanism will be implemented via an appropriate class hierarchy to
      replace the remaining 'switch' statement.
      
      Mesh-motion is currently handled very inefficiently for cellSets and not
      at all for inter-region coupling.  The former will be improved when the
      cell-selection classes are written and the latter by making the
      meshToMesh class a MeshObject after it has been corrected for mapFields.

      MRF: Separate MRF from fvOptions · 2b9a2adf
      Henry authored
      fvOptions does not have the appropriate structure to support MRF as it
      is based on option selection by user-specified fields whereas MRF MUST
      be applied to all velocity fields in the particular solver.  A
      consequence of the particular design choices in fvOptions made it
      difficult to support MRF for multiphase and it is easier to support
      frame-related and field related options separately.
      
      Currently the MRF functionality provided supports only rotations but
      the structure will be generalized to support other frame motions
      including linear acceleration, SRF rotation and 6DoF which will be
      run-time selectable.

      simpleFoam/SRFSimpleFoam: Added support for SIMPLEC · 1b6f46fa
      Henry authored
      SIMPLEC (SIMPLE-consistent) is selected by setting "consistent" option true/yes:
      
      SIMPLE
      {
          nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
          consistent yes;
      }
      
      which relaxes the pressure in a "consistent" manner and additional
      relaxation of the pressure is not generally necessary.  In addition
      convergence of the p-U system is better and reliable with less
      aggressive relaxation of the momentum equation, e.g. for the motorbike
      tutorial:
      
      relaxationFactors
      {
          equations
          {
              U               0.9;
              k               0.7;
              omega           0.7;
          }
      }
      
      The cost per iteration is marginally higher but the convergence rate is
      better so the number of iterations can be reduced.
      
      The SIMPLEC algorithm also provides benefit for cases with large
      body-forces, e.g. SRF, see tutorials/incompressible/SRFSimpleFoam/mixer
      and feature request http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1714
