* Overview
OpenFOAM-2.0.0 is the latest major release of OpenFOAM including many new
developments a number of bug-fixes. This release passes our standard tests
and the tutorials have been broadly checked. Please report any bugs by

developments and a number of bug-fixes. This release passes our standard
tests and the tutorials have been broadly checked. Please report any bugs
by following the link: http://www.openfoam.com/bugs.
* GNU/Linux version
This release of OpenFOAM is distributed primarily in 2 ways: (1) as a Debian
pack containing binaries and source; (2) from the SourceForge source code
repository (see [[./README.org][README]]).
The Ubuntu/Debian pack is available for 32 and 64 bit versions of the 10.04
LTS operating system using the system compiler and libraries that will be
installed automatically from standard Debian packs.
The Ubuntu/Debian pack is available for 32 and 64 bit versions of the 10.10
and 11.04 LTS operating system using the system compiler and libraries that
will be installed automatically from standard Debian packs.
To use the source version from the SourceForge repository, we provide a source
pack of third-party packages that can be compiled on the user's system. This

#+END_SRC
*** *Updated* particle tracking algorithm
+ uses non-blocking parallel transfers
+ does 'minimum-tet' decomposition of face to work with warped faces
(snappyHexMesh!)
+ reuses tracking state in interpolation - improves consistency and speed
*** Lagrangian intermediate library
+ Extensively updated
+ *Updated* input format
+ Extended to include steady cloud tracking
+ Semi-implicit treatment for particle sources
+ *New* collision modelling
+ *Coupled* to new surface film modelling library
+ Particle forces overhauled
+ *New* Paramagnetic force
+ *New* Brownian-motion force
+ *New* sub-models
+ NonSphereDrag: drag model to account for non-spherical particles
+ ParticleTracks: post-processing model to generate track data, typically
during steady calculations
+ nonSphereDrag: drag model to account for non-spherical particles
+ *Updated* sub-models
+ Injection models: injection for injector nozzles
+ Devolatilisation models: now act on a per-specie basis
+ Cloud function objects
+ facePostProcessing: Particle/mesh face post-processing
+ particleTracks: post-processing model to generate track data, typically
during steady calculations
+ *Coupled* to new surface film modelling library
*** *New* Surface film library
+ Creation of films by particle addition, or initial film distribution
+ Coupled with the lagrangian/intermediate cloud hierarchy library
+ Hierarchical design, consisting of
+ kinematic film: mass, momentum
+ constant thermodynamic properties
+ thermodynamic film: mass, momentum and enthalpy
+ constant, or temperature dependant thermodynamic properties
+ Sub-models:
+ detachment/dripping whereby particles (re)enter the originating cloud
+ particle sizes set according to PDF
+ other properties set to ensure mass, momentum and energy conservation
+ forces
+ many pressure- and stress-based forces including, e.g. contact
angle force for rivulet flow
+ heat transfer to/from walls and film surface
+ film evaporation and boiling
+ Additional wall functions for primary region momentum and temperature
taking film into account
+ Coupling to *New* pyrolysis library
+ Parallel aware

*** *Updated* decomposePar maps polyPatches instead of recreating them so
polyPatches holding data can map the data.

*** *Updated* split cyclics into two separate patches.
See [[./doc/changes/splitCyclic.txt]]
* *New* cyclics (and all coupled patches) have optional
matchTolerance entry to allow looser area matching tolerance.
* *Updated* interpolation (volPointInterpolation) now works without the
globalPointPatch. Moving mesh cases can now be run non-parallel and
continued in parallel and reconstructed without any limitation.

This speeds up reading/writing meshes in binary. Binary mesh reading
is backwards (but not forwards) compatible. Use ascii mesh format or
