Geometric field access

The following examples show manipulation of scalar fields; similar constructs are used for other primitive types, i.e. vector, sphericalTensor, symmTensor and tensor classes.

Internal field

OLD

const scalarField& isf = field.internalField();
scalarField& isf = field.internalField();

NEW

const scalarField& isf = field.primitiveField();
scalarField& isf = field.primitiveFieldRef();

Dimensioned internal field

OLD

const volScalarField::DimensionedInternalField& dsf = field.dimensionedInternalField();
volScalarField::DimensionedInternalField& dsf = field.dimensionedInternalField();

NEW

const volScalarField::Internal& dsf = field()();
const volScalarField::Internal& dsf = field.internalField();
volScalarField::Internal& dsf = field.ref();

Boundary field

OLD:

const volScalarField::GeometricBoundaryField& bsf = field.boundaryField();
volScalarField::GeometricBoundaryField& bsf = field.boundaryField();

NEW

const volScalarField::Boundary& bsf = field.boundaryField();
volScalarField::Boundary& bsf = field.boundaryFieldRef();

Patch field

OLD

fvPatchScalarField& psf = ...
const volScalarField::DimensionedInternalField& dsf = psf.dimensionedInternalField();

const scalarField& psif = psf.internalField();

NEW

fvPatchScalarField& psf = ...
const volScalarField::Internal& dsf = psf.internalField();

const scalarField& psif = psf.primitiveField();

Temporary fields

OLD:

tmp<volScalarField> tField = ...
volScalarField& non_const_field = tField();
const volScalarField& const_field = tField();

NEW

tmp<volScalarField> tField = ...
volScalarField& non_const_field = tField().ref();
const volScalarField& const_field = tField();

Function objects

The functionObjectState class has been renamed stateFunctionObject
