+OpenFOAM release notes for version 1.5
+
+1 Overview
+
+OpenFOAM-1.5 is is a significant upgrade to version 1.4 in ways which are
+outlined below. This release passes all our standard tests and the tutorials
+have been broadly checked. If there are any bugs, please report them using the
+instructions set out in: http://www.openfoam.org/bugs.html.
+
+Most of the developments for this release are in: new applications, e.g. for
+multiphase flow and cavitation, buoyancy-flow and heat transfer, high speed
+flows and even molecular dynamics; new utilities, e.g. for meshing and case
+monitoring; and, new modelling, e.g. in Lagrangian particle tracking,
+radiation and rotating frames of reference. With these new applications come
+numerous new example cases.
+
+2 GNU/Linux version
+
+The 64bit binary packs of the OpenFOAM release were compiled on a machine
+running SuSE GNU/Linux version 10.3 and the 32bit on a machine running Ubuntu
+GNU/Linux version 7.1 and also tested on Ubuntu 8.04. We recommend that users
+run OpenFOAM on one of these or a similar recent version of GNU/Linux. This
+release has also been successfully compiled and tested on older GNU/Linux
+releases but this re<div id="table-of-contents">

+quires the installation of Qt 4.3.? for ParaView-3 to run.
+
+3 C++ Compiler version
+
+ * Released compiled with GCC 4.3.1, the latest version.
+ * Built in support for the Intel C++ 10.? compiler (untested).
+ * The choice of the compiler is controlled by the setting of the
+ $WM_COMPILER and $WM_COMPILER_ARCH environment variables in the
+ OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/bashrc (or cshrc) file.
+ * The location of the installation of the compiler is controlled by the
+ $WM_COMPILER_INST environment variable in the OpenFOAM-1.5/etc/settings.sh
+ (or settings.csh) file.
+
+4 Developments to solvers (applications)
+
+ * New rhoCentralFoam solver for high-speed, viscous, compressible flows
+ using non-oscillatory, central-upwind schemes.
+ * New interDyMFoam solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal, immiscible
+ fluids using a VoF phase-fraction based interface capturing approach, with
+ optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes including adaptive mesh
+ (un)refinement. Useful for simulations such as tank filling, sloshing ---
+ using solid body motion e.g. SDA or SKA (6DoF) — and slamming (using the
+ mesh motion solver) and other large-scale applications that benefit from
+ the efficiency gain of adaptive mesh (un)refinement of the interface.
+ * New compressibleInterFoam solver for 2 compressible, isothermal,
+ immiscible fluids using a volume of fluid (VoF) phase-fraction approach
+ for interface-capturing. The momentum and other fluid properties are of
+ the "mixture" and a single momentum equation is solved. Turbulence is
+ modelled using a run-time selectable incompressible LES model.
+ * New interPhaseChangeFoam solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal,
+ immiscible fluids with phase-change, e.g. cavitation. Uses VoF interface
+ capturing, with momentum and other fluid properties described for the
+ ``mixture'' and a single momentum equation is solved. The set of
+ phase-change models provided are designed to simulate cavitation but other
+ mechanisms of phase-change are supported within this solver framework.
+ * New rasCavitatingFoam solver for transient cavitation using a barotropic
+ compressibility model, with RAS turbulence.
+ * New lesCavitatingFoam solver for transient cavitation using a barotropic
+ compressibility model, with LES turbulence.
+ * New chtMultiRegionFoam solver that couples conjugate heat transfer in a
+ solid to a buoyancy-driven flow simulation.
+ * New PDRFoam solver for compressible premixed/partially-premixed turbulent
+ combustion that includes porosity/distributed resistance (PDR) modelling
+ to handle regions containing solid blockages which cannot be resolved by
+ the mesh. Requires the PDR fields.
+ * New lesBuoyantFoam solver for transient, buoyant, turbulent flow of
+ compressible fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer. Turbulence is
+ modelled using a run-time selectable compressible LES model.
+ * New rhoPimpleFoam solver for transient, turbulent flow of compressible
+ fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer. Uses the flexible PIMPLE
+ (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and pseudo-transient simulations.
+ * New buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam solver for steady-state, buoyant, turbulent
+ flow of compressible fluids with radiation, for ventilation and
+ heat-transfer.
+ * New rhoTurbTwinParcelFoam solver for transient for compressible, turbulent
+ flow with two thermo-clouds.
+ * New gnemdFOAM solver for general purpose molecular dynamics that simulates
+ atoms in arbitrary shaped domains and average atomic/molecular quantities
+ to the mesh to create field data.
+ * New mdEqulibrationFoam solver to equilibrates and/or preconditions
+ molecular dynamics systems.
+ * Demonstration SRFSimpleFoam solver based on simpleFoam that incorporates
+ the SRF extensions (see below) for rotating flows.
+
+5 Automatic mesher
+
+New snappyHexMesh utility that generates split-hex meshes automatically from
+triangulated (STL) surface geometries. The mesh approximately conforms to the
+surface by iteratively refining a starting mesh and morphing the resulting
+split-hex mesh to the surface. An optional phase will shrink back the
+resulting mesh and insert cell layers. It has a flexible specification of mesh
+refinement level and robust surface handling with a pre-specified final mesh
+quality. It runs in parallel with a load balancing step every iteration.
+
+6 Developments to utilities
+
+ * New extrude2DMesh utility that extrudes 2D meshes into a 3D mesh. 2D
+ meshes are described by faces with 2 points, so can be used in combination
+ with 2D meshes converted with ccm26ToFoam.
+ * New couplePatches functionality integrated into createPatch, which
+ optionally synchronises ("couples") points and faces of coupled (cyclic,
+ processor) patches.
+ * New applyBoundaryLayer pre-processing utility to apply 1/7th power-law
+ boundary layers at walls, starting from uniform or potential flow
+ solutions.
+ * New execFlowFunctionObjects utility executes functionObjects as a
+ post-processing activity, e.g. probes, sampling, force calculation.
+ * New changeDictionary utility makes batch changes to OpenFOAM input files,
+ e.g. to change boundary conditions of field files.
+ * New foamCalc utility, a generic post-processing field calculator tool
+ * New molConfig pre-processing utility for molecular dynamics cases. Fills
+ zones of a mesh with single crystal lattices of specified structure,
+ density, orientation, alignment and temperature.
+ * Extended splitMeshRegions utility to split multi-zone meshes, e.g. defined
+ through cellZones, into separate meshes.
+ * Extended the foamToVTK, decomposePar, reconstructPar and mapFields
+ utilities to include support for multiple particle clouds in parallel
+ processing.
+
+7 Migration from ParaView 2.4 to ParaView 3.x
+
+ * Rewritten OpenFOAM Reader Module for version 3, a major redesign of
+ ParaView.
+ * New features include viewing patch names, reading of Lagrangian data,
+ handling of cell, face and point sets, multiple views.
+
+8 Model development
+
+ * Overhauled the lagrangian library to support multiple clouds.
+ * New lagrangianIntermediate library incorporating a hierarchy of parcel and
+ cloud types, accommodating kinematic, thermodynamic and reacting
+ applications, including coupling to the new radiation library. Sub-models
+ are added at the relevant level of physics, e.g.:
+ + kinematic: injection, wall interaction, drag, dispersion;
+ + thermo: heat transfer;
+ + reacting: reacting composition, mass transfer, surface reactions.
+ * New single rotating frame of reference (SRF) library for rotating flow
+ applications, e.g. turbo-machinery.
+ * New radiation library including the P1 model and associated Marshak
+ boundary conditions for incident radiation.
+ * New displacementInterpolation motion solver for flexible mesh scaling.
+ * New molecularDynamics Lagrangian library to calculate intermolecular
+ forces between spherically symmetrical monatomic species in arbitrary
+ geometries.
+
+9 New functionObjects
+
+To aid common monitoring and post-processing activities.
+
+ * forces: calculate the force and moment on a patch or set of patches, e.g.
+ to calculate the lift, drag and moment of an object in the flow.
+ * forceCoeffs: calculate the normalised force and moment on a patch or set
+ of patches, e.g. to calculate the lift, drag and moment coefficients of an
+ object in the flow.
+ * fieldAverage: calculate field arithmetic mean and prime-squared averages
+ for a list of fields.
+ * foamCalcFunctions: calculate field components, div, mag, magGrad or
+ magSqr.
+
+10 Improvements to boundary conditions
+
+ * Generalised jumpCyclic type: cyclic condition with an additional
+ prescribed jump in value.
+ * fan type: specialisation of jumpCyclic, applying a prescribed jump in
+ pressure to simulate a fan within a mesh.
+ * Generalised advective outflow boundary condition based on solving D/Dt
+ (psi, U) = 0 at the boundary.
+ * Additional turbulent flow inlet to specify mixing length and frequency.
+ * Generalisation of time varying set of boundary conditions.
+
+11 Other
+
+ * New argument-free command execution, e.g typing "icoFoam" without root and
+ case directory arguments.
+ * Extended time command line options.
+ * Many enhancements to dictionary including macro substitution, optional
+ merging and default/overwrite behaviour, enhanced "#include" file handling
+ and the framework to support function evaluation.
+ * Cross-links between applications and Doxygen documentation with the "-doc"
+ argument.
+ * Non-blocking, non-buffered, parallel transfers with potential scaling
+ benefits for larger number of processors.
