In most boundary conditions, fvOptions etc. required and optional fields to be looked-up from the objectRegistry are selected by setting the keyword corresponding to the standard field name in the BC etc. to the appropriate name in the objectRegistry. Usually a default is provided with sets the field name to the keyword name, e.g. in the totalPressureFvPatchScalarField the velocity is selected by setting the keyword 'U' to the appropriate name which defaults to 'U': Property | Description | Required | Default value U | velocity field name | no | U phi | flux field name | no | phi . . . However, in some BCs and functionObjects and many fvOptions another convention is used in which the field name keyword is appended by 'Name' e.g. Property | Description | Required | Default value pName | pressure field name | no | p UName | velocity field name | no | U This difference in convention is unnecessary and confusing, hinders code and dictionary reuse and complicates code maintenance. In this commit the appended 'Name' is removed from the field selection keywords standardizing OpenFOAM on the first convention above.
