Previously the coordinate system functionality was split between coordinateSystem and coordinateRotation. The coordinateRotation stored the rotation tensor and handled all tensor transformations. The functionality has now been revised and consolidated into the coordinateSystem classes. The sole purpose of coordinateRotation is now just to provide a selectable mechanism of how to define the rotation tensor (eg, axis-angle, euler angles, local axes) for user input, but after providing the appropriate rotation tensor it has no further influence on the transformations. -- The coordinateSystem class now contains an origin and a base rotation tensor directly and various transformation methods. - The origin represents the "shift" for a local coordinate system. - The base rotation tensor represents the "tilt" or orientation of the local coordinate system in general (eg, for mapping positions), but may require position-dependent tensors when transforming vectors and tensors. For some coordinate systems (currently the cylindrical coordinate system), the rotation tensor required for rotating a vector or tensor is position-dependent. The new coordinateSystem and its derivates (cartesian, cylindrical, indirect) now provide a uniform() method to define if the rotation tensor is position dependent/independent. The coordinateSystem transform and invTransform methods are now available in two-parameter forms for obtaining position-dependent rotation tensors. Eg, ... = cs.transform(globalPt, someVector); In some cases it can be useful to use query uniform() to avoid storage of redundant values. if (cs.uniform()) { vector xx = cs.transform(someVector); } else { List<vector> xx = cs.transform(manyPoints, someVector); } Support transform/invTransform for common data types: (scalar, vector, sphericalTensor, symmTensor, tensor). ==================== Breaking Changes ==================== - These changes to coordinate systems and rotations may represent a breaking change for existing user coding. - Relocating the rotation tensor into coordinateSystem itself means that the coordinate system 'R()' method now returns the rotation directly instead of the coordinateRotation. The method name 'R()' was chosen for consistency with other low-level entities (eg, quaternion). The following changes will be needed in coding: Old: tensor rot = cs.R().R(); New: tensor rot = cs.R(); Old: cs.R().transform(...); New: cs.transform(...); Accessing the runTime selectable coordinateRotation has moved to the rotation() method: Old: Info<< "Rotation input: " << cs.R() << nl; New: Info<< "Rotation input: " << cs.rotation() << nl; - Naming consistency changes may also cause code to break. Old: transformVector() New: transformPrincipal() The old method name transformTensor() now simply becomes transform(). ==================== New methods ==================== For operations requiring caching of the coordinate rotations, the 'R()' method can be used with multiple input points: tensorField rots(cs.R(somePoints)); and later Foam::transformList(rots, someVectors); The rotation() method can also be used to change the rotation tensor via a new coordinateRotation definition (issue #879). The new methods transformPoint/invTransformPoint provide transformations with an origin offset using Cartesian for both local and global points. These can be used to determine the local position based on the origin/rotation without interpreting it as a r-theta-z value, for example. ================ Input format ================ - Streamline dictionary input requirements * The default type is cartesian. * The default rotation type is the commonly used axes rotation specification (with e1/e2/3), which is assumed if the 'rotation' sub-dictionary does not exist. Example, Compact specification: coordinateSystem { origin (0 0 0); e2 (0 1 0); e3 (0.5 0 0.866025); } Full specification (also accepts the longer 'coordinateRotation' sub-dictionary name): coordinateSystem { type cartesian; origin (0 0 0); rotation { type axes; e2 (0 1 0); e3 (0.5 0 0.866025); } } This simplifies the input for many cases. - Additional rotation specification 'none' (an identity rotation): coordinateSystem { origin (0 0 0); rotation { type none; } } - Additional rotation specification 'axisAngle', which is similar to the -rotate-angle option for transforming points (issue #660). For some cases this can be more intuitive. For example, rotation { type axisAngle; axis (0 1 0); angle 30; } vs. rotation { type axes; e2 (0 1 0); e3 (0.5 0 0.866025); } - shorter names (or older longer names) for the coordinate rotation specification. euler EulerRotation starcd STARCDRotation axes axesRotation ================ Coding Style ================ - use Foam::coordSystem namespace for categories of coordinate systems (cartesian, cylindrical, indirect). This reduces potential name clashes and makes a clearer declaration. Eg, coordSystem::cartesian csys_; The older names (eg, cartesianCS, etc) remain available via typedefs. - added coordinateRotations namespace for better organization and reduce potential name clashes.

Within decomposeParDict, it is now possible to specify a different decomposition method, methods coefficients or number of subdomains for each region individually. The top-level numberOfSubdomains remains mandatory, since this specifies the number of domains for the entire simulation. The individual regions may use the same number or fewer domains. Any optional method coefficients can be specified in a general "coeffs" entry or a method-specific one, eg "metisCoeffs". For multiLevel, only the method-specific "multiLevelCoeffs" dictionary is used, and is also mandatory. ---- ENH: shortcut specification for multiLevel. In addition to the longer dictionary form, it is also possible to use a shorter notation for multiLevel decomposition when the same decomposition method applies to each level.

- although this has been supported for many years, the tutorials continued to use "convertToMeters" entry, which is specific to blockMesh. The "scale" is more consistent with other dictionaries. ENH: - ignore "scale 0;" (treat as no scaling) for blockMeshDict, consistent with use elsewhere.

Original commit message: ------------------------ Parallel IO: New collated file format When an OpenFOAM simulation runs in parallel, the data for decomposed fields and mesh(es) has historically been stored in multiple files within separate directories for each processor. Processor directories are named 'processorN', where N is the processor number. This commit introduces an alternative "collated" file format where the data for each decomposed field (and mesh) is collated into a single file, which is written and read on the master processor. The files are stored in a single directory named 'processors'. The new format produces significantly fewer files - one per field, instead of N per field. For large parallel cases, this avoids the restriction on the number of open files imposed by the operating system limits. The file writing can be threaded allowing the simulation to continue running while the data is being written to file. NFS (Network File System) is not needed when using the the collated format and additionally, there is an option to run without NFS with the original uncollated approach, known as "masterUncollated". The controls for the file handling are in the OptimisationSwitches of etc/controlDict: OptimisationSwitches { ... //- Parallel IO file handler // uncollated (default), collated or masterUncollated fileHandler uncollated; //- collated: thread buffer size for queued file writes. // If set to 0 or not sufficient for the file size threading is not used. // Default: 2e9 maxThreadFileBufferSize 2e9; //- masterUncollated: non-blocking buffer size. // If the file exceeds this buffer size scheduled transfer is used. // Default: 2e9 maxMasterFileBufferSize 2e9; } When using the collated file handling, memory is allocated for the data in the thread. maxThreadFileBufferSize sets the maximum size of memory in bytes that is allocated. If the data exceeds this size, the write does not use threading. When using the masterUncollated file handling, non-blocking MPI communication requires a sufficiently large memory buffer on the master node. maxMasterFileBufferSize sets the maximum size in bytes of the buffer. If the data exceeds this size, the system uses scheduled communication. The installation defaults for the fileHandler choice, maxThreadFileBufferSize and maxMasterFileBufferSize (set in etc/controlDict) can be over-ridden within the case controlDict file, like other parameters. Additionally the fileHandler can be set by: - the "-fileHandler" command line argument; - a FOAM_FILEHANDLER environment variable. A foamFormatConvert utility allows users to convert files between the collated and uncollated formats, e.g. mpirun -np 2 foamFormatConvert -parallel -fileHandler uncollated An example case demonstrating the file handling methods is provided in: $FOAM_TUTORIALS/IO/fileHandling The work was undertaken by Mattijs Janssens, in collaboration with Henry Weller.

using a run-time selectable preconditioner References: Van der Vorst, H. A. (1992). Bi-CGSTAB: A fast and smoothly converging variant of Bi-CG for the solution of nonsymmetric linear systems. SIAM Journal on scientific and Statistical Computing, 13(2), 631-644. Barrett, R., Berry, M. W., Chan, T. F., Demmel, J., Donato, J., Dongarra, J., Eijkhout, V., Pozo, R., Romine, C. & Van der Vorst, H. (1994). Templates for the solution of linear systems: building blocks for iterative methods (Vol. 43). Siam. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biconjugate_gradient_stabilized_method Tests have shown that PBiCGStab with the DILU preconditioner is more robust, reliable and shows faster convergence (~2x) than PBiCG with DILU, in particular in parallel where PBiCG occasionally diverges. This remarkable improvement over PBiCG prompted the update of all tutorial cases currently using PBiCG to use PBiCGStab instead. If any issues arise with this update please report on Mantis: http://bugs.openfoam.org
