nLimiterIter: Number of iterations during limiter construction 3 (default) is sufficient for 3D simulations with a Courant number 0.5 or so For larger Courant numbers larger values may be needed but this is only relevant for IMULES and CMULES smoothLimiter: Coefficient to smooth the limiter to avoid "diamond" staggering patters seen in regions of low particle phase-fraction in fluidised-bed simulations. The default is 0 as it is not needed for all simulations. A value of 0.1 is appropriate for fluidised-bed simulations. The useful range is 0 -> 0.5. Values larger than 0.5 may cause excessive smearing of the solution.

This formulation provides C-grid like pressure-flux staggering on an unstructured mesh which is hugely beneficial for Euler-Euler multiphase equations as it allows for all forces to be treated in a consistent manner on the cell-faces which provides better balance, stability and accuracy. However, to achieve face-force consistency the momentum transport terms must be interpolated to the faces reducing accuracy of this part of the system but this is offset by the increase in accuracy of the force-balance. Currently it is not clear if this face-based momentum equation formulation is preferable for all Euler-Euler simulations so I have included it on a switch to allow evaluation and comparison with the previous cell-based formulation. To try the new algorithm simply switch it on, e.g.: PIMPLE { nOuterCorrectors 3; nCorrectors 1; nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0; faceMomentum yes; } It is proving particularly good for bubbly flows, eliminating the staggering patterns often seen in the air velocity field with the previous algorithm, removing other spurious numerical artifacts in the velocity fields and improving stability and allowing larger time-steps For particle-gas flows the advantage is noticeable but not nearly as pronounced as in the bubbly flow cases. Please test the new algorithm on your cases and provide feedback. Henry G. Weller CFD Direct

Now interaction methods must be specified for all non-coupled patches. If this approach proves irritating a warning rather than an error could be generated. Resolves bug-report http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1670

Description Specify an etc file to include when reading dictionaries, expects a single string to follow. Searches for files from user/group/shipped directories. The search scheme allows for version-specific and version-independent files using the following hierarchy: - \b user settings: - ~/.OpenFOAM/\<VERSION\> - ~/.OpenFOAM/ - \b group (site) settings (when $WM_PROJECT_SITE is set): - $WM_PROJECT_SITE/\<VERSION\> - $WM_PROJECT_SITE - \b group (site) settings (when $WM_PROJECT_SITE is not set): - $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site/\<VERSION\> - $WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/site/ - \b other (shipped) settings: - $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/ An example of the \c \#includeEtc directive: \verbatim #includeEtc "etcFile" \endverbatim The usual expansion of environment variables and other constructs is retained.
