      surfaceFilmModels::contactAngleForce: Added temperatureDependentContactAngleForce · cb1faea3
      Henry Weller authored
      Created a base-class from contactAngleForce from which the
      distributionContactAngleForce (for backward compatibility) and the new
      temperatureDependentContactAngleForce are derived:
      
      Description
          Temperature dependent contact angle force
      
          The contact angle in degrees is specified as a \c Function1 type, to
          enable the use of, e.g.  contant, polynomial, table values.

      reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam::IATE: Added wallBoiling sub-model · 164540eb
      Henry Weller authored
      to handle the size of bubbles created by boiling.  To be used in
      conjunction with the alphatWallBoilingWallFunction boundary condition.
      
      The IATE variant of the wallBoiling tutorial case is provided to
      demonstrate the functionality:

      reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam: Enhanced support for wall boiling · 213e131d
      Henry Weller authored
      Contributed by Juho Peltola, VTT
      
      Notable changes:
      
          1. The same wall function is now used for both phases, but user must
             specify phaseType ‘liquid’ or ‘vapor’
      
          2. Runtime selectable submodels for:
             - wall heat flux partitioning between the phases
             - nucleation site density
             - bubble departure frequency
             - bubble departure diameter
      
          3. An additional iteration loop for the wall boiling model in case
             the initial guess for the wall temperature proves to be poor.
      
      The wallBoiling tutorial has been updated to demonstrate this new functionality.

      Updated the whole of OpenFOAM to use the new templated TurbulenceModels library · 93732c8a
      Henry authored
      The old separate incompressible and compressible libraries have been removed.
      
      Most of the commonly used RANS and LES models have been upgraded to the
      new framework but there are a few missing which will be added over the
      next few days, in particular the realizable k-epsilon model.  Some of
      the less common incompressible RANS models have been introduced into the
      new library instantiated for incompressible flow only.  If they prove to
      be generally useful they can be templated for compressible and
      multiphase application.
      
      The Spalart-Allmaras DDES and IDDES models have been thoroughly
      debugged, removing serious errors concerning the use of S rather than
      Omega.
      
      The compressible instances of the models have been augmented by a simple
      backward-compatible eddyDiffusivity model for thermal transport based on
      alphat and alphaEff.  This will be replaced with a separate run-time
      selectable thermal transport model framework in a few weeks.
      
      For simplicity and ease of maintenance and further development the
      turbulent transport and wall modeling is based on nut/nuEff rather than
      mut/muEff for compressible models so that all forms of turbulence models
      can use the same wall-functions and other BCs.
      
      All turbulence model selection made in the constant/turbulenceProperties
      dictionary with RAS and LES as sub-dictionaries rather than in separate
      files which added huge complexity for multiphase.
      
      All tutorials have been updated so study the changes and update your own
      cases by comparison with similar cases provided.
      
      Sorry for the inconvenience in the break in backward-compatibility but
      this update to the turbulence modeling is an essential step in the
      future of OpenFOAM to allow more models to be added and maintained for a
      wider range of cases and physics.  Over the next weeks and months more
      turbulence models will be added of single and multiphase flow, more
      additional sub-models and further development and testing of existing
      models.  I hope this brings benefits to all OpenFOAM users.
