Select LTS via the ddtScheme:

    ddtSchemes
    {
        default         localEuler rDeltaT;
    }

The LTS algorithm is currently controlled with the standard settings in
controlDict, e.g.:

    maxCo           0.5;
    maxDeltaT       2e-8;

with the addition of the optional rDeltaT smoothing coefficient:

    rDeltaTSmoothingCoeff 0.02;

which defaults to 0.02.

    ddtSchemes
    {
        default         localEuler rDeltaT;

LTS is selected by the ddt scheme e.g. in the
tutorials/multiphase/interFoam/ras/DTCHull case:

ddtSchemes
{
    default         localEuler rDeltaT;
}

LTSInterFoam is no longer needed now that interFoam includes LTS

Unfortunately this allows LES models to be instantiated although they
are not compatible with steady-state simulations.

For cases with reasonably uniform meshes like the forwardStep tutorial
LTS does not provide much benefit but for cases with large variation in
cell-size like the biconic25-55Run35 tutorial LTS provides significant
speed-up to convergence particularly if started from uniform conditions.

Reverted changes proposed in
http://openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1548 as it adversely affects
fixed-value BCs and is formulated to fix an issue with an unphysical
case.  Further analysis of the handling of fixed pressure outlet
conditions as the Mach number approaches 1 is required.

Now consistent with the way the Courant number is calculated for other solvers

Multi-species, mass-transfer and reaction support and multi-phase
structure provided by William Bainbridge.

Integration of the latest p-U and face-p_U algorithms with William's
multi-phase structure is not quite complete due to design
incompatibilities which needs further development.  However the
integration of the functionality is complete.

The results of the tutorials are not exactly the same for the
twoPhaseEulerFoam and reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam solvers but are very
similar.  Further analysis in needed to ensure these differences are
physical or to resolve them; in the meantime the twoPhaseEulerFoam
solver will be maintained.

This is necessary to guarantee consistency between the residualAlpha

fvOptions does not have the appropriate structure to support MRF as it
is based on option selection by user-specified fields whereas MRF MUST
be applied to all velocity fields in the particular solver.  A
consequence of the particular design choices in fvOptions made it
difficult to support MRF for multiphase and it is easier to support
frame-related and field related options separately.

Currently the MRF functionality provided supports only rotations but
the structure will be generalized to support other frame motions
including linear acceleration, SRF rotation and 6DoF which will be
run-time selectable.

SIMPLEC (SIMPLE-consistent) is selected by setting "consistent" option true/yes:

SIMPLE
{
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
    consistent yes;
}

which relaxes the pressure in a "consistent" manner and additional
relaxation of the pressure is not generally necessary.  In addition
convergence of the p-U system is better and reliable with less
aggressive relaxation of the momentum equation, e.g. for the motorbike
tutorial:

relaxationFactors
{
    equations
    {
        U               0.9;
        k               0.7;
        omega           0.7;
    }
}

The cost per iteration is marginally higher but the convergence rate is
better so the number of iterations can be reduced.

The SIMPLEC algorithm also provides benefit for cases with large
body-forces, e.g. SRF, see tutorials/incompressible/SRFSimpleFoam/mixer
