      OpenFOAM: Updated all libraries, solvers and utilities to use the new const-safe tmp · 78590832
      Henry Weller authored
      The deprecated non-const tmp functionality is now on the compiler switch
      NON_CONST_TMP which can be enabled by adding -DNON_CONST_TMP to EXE_INC
      in the Make/options file.  However, it is recommended to upgrade all
      code to the new safer tmp by using the '.ref()' member function rather
      than the non-const '()' dereference operator when non-const access to
      the temporary object is required.
      
      Please report any problems on Mantis.

      tmp: Updated to store and preserve the const-ness of the reference to a constant object · 4758c2ac
      Henry Weller authored
      This change requires that the de-reference operator '()' returns a
      const-reference to the object stored irrespective of the const-ness of
      object stored and the new member function 'ref()' is provided to return
      an non-const reference to stored object which throws a fatal error if the
      stored object is const.
      
      In order to smooth the transition to this new safer 'tmp' the now
      deprecated and unsafe non-const de-reference operator '()' is still
      provided by default but may be switched-off with the compilation switch
      'CONST_TMP'.
      
      The main OpenFOAM library has already been upgraded and '-DCONST_TMP'
      option specified in the 'options' file to switch to the new 'tmp'
      behavior.  The rest of OpenFOAM-dev will be upgraded over the following
      few weeks.

      Boundary conditions: Added extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField · 7d192447
      Henry Weller authored
      To be used instead of zeroGradientFvPatchField for temporary fields for
      which zero-gradient extrapolation is use to evaluate the boundary field
      but avoiding fields derived from temporary field using field algebra
      inheriting the zeroGradient boundary condition by the reuse of the
      temporary field storage.
      
      zeroGradientFvPatchField should not be used as the default patch field
      for any temporary fields and should be avoided for non-temporary fields
      except where it is clearly appropriate;
      extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField and calculatedFvPatchField are
      generally more suitable defaults depending on the manner in which the
      boundary values are specified or evaluated.
      
      The entire OpenFOAM-dev code-base has been updated following the above
      recommendations.

      Solvers: Added support for extrapolated pressure boundary conditions · acaf72b4
      Henry Weller authored
      The boundary conditions of HbyA are now constrained by the new "constrainHbyA"
      function which applies the velocity boundary values for patches for which the
      velocity cannot be modified by assignment and pressure extrapolation is
      not specified via the new
      "fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressureFvPatchScalarField".
      
      The new function "constrainPressure" sets the pressure gradient
      appropriately for "fixedFluxPressureFvPatchScalarField" and
      "fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressureFvPatchScalarField" boundary conditions to
      ensure the evaluated flux corresponds to the known velocity values at
      the boundary.
      
      The "fixedFluxPressureFvPatchScalarField" boundary condition operates
      exactly as before, ensuring the correct flux at fixed-flux boundaries by
      compensating for the body forces (gravity in particular) with the
      pressure gradient.
      
      The new "fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressureFvPatchScalarField" boundary
      condition may be used for cases with or without body-forces to set the
      pressure gradient to compensate not only for the body-force but also the
      extrapolated "HbyA" which provides a second-order boundary condition for
      pressure.  This is useful for a range a problems including impinging
      flow, extrapolated inlet conditions with body-forces or for highly
      viscous flows, pressure-induced separation etc.  To test this boundary
      condition at walls in the motorBike tutorial case set
      
          lowerWall
          {
              type            fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressure;
          }
      
          motorBikeGroup
          {
              type            fixedFluxExtrapolatedPressure;
          }
      
      Currently the new extrapolated pressure boundary condition is supported
      for all incompressible and sub-sonic compressible solvers except those
      providing implicit and tensorial porosity support.  The approach will be
      extended to cover these solvers and options in the future.
      
      Note: the extrapolated pressure boundary condition is experimental and
      requires further testing to assess the range of applicability,
      stability, accuracy etc.
