- overCompressibleInterDyMFoam: Overset solver for two compressible,
non-isothermal, immiscible fluids using a VOF (i.e. volume of fluid)
phase-fraction based interface capturing approach.
- overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam: Overset solver for two incompressible,
isothermal, immiscible fluids with phase-change (e.g. cavitation) using
VoF (i.e. volume of fluid) phase-fraction based interface capturing approach.
- adds new tutorials:
  - multiphase/overCompressibleInterDyMFoam/compressibleTwoSimpleRotors
  - multiphase/overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam/twoSimpleRotors

- new '-ascii' option to write in ASCII format instead of the
  controlDict setting. This can be useful when generating fields that
  should be parsed with other tools, or for visual inspection.

- correct mismatch of option names and lookups

- can use either command-line option "-load-fields" or dictionary
  entry "readFields" to specify field names to be preloaded.

  Essentially the same functionality as with a readFields function
  object but with a lot less typing.

- tutorial examples provided by Ryan Danks <ryan.danks@rwdi.com>
  illustrate using setExpr* utilities to calculate a quantity
  as a post-processing step.

     to operate with overset

1) Adding zoneMotion to rigidBodyMotion
2) Introducing PID to prescribedRotation restraint
3) Making drivenLinearMotion read total displacement
4) When drivenLinearMotion is used sixDof and rigid-body solvers
   write total displacement

- generally OK to miss for easily evaluated functions, but highly
  misleading with expressions (where the evaluate may be invalid
  during construction).

- override casename, procesorCase flags to guarantee reconstructed
case to be written to the undecomposed directory
- alternative is to construct a Zero mesh on the undecomposed
runTime and add all other bits to that but that has not been
pursued

- orient blocks in global x/y/z.
  Provisioning for coarser/smaller geometries.

- the raw surface writer simply outputs x/y/z and field values.
  This additional flag allows recovery of some geometric information.

- optional user-specified output precision

Example,
```
formatOptions
{
    raw
    {
        normal      yes;
        precision   10;
    }
}
```

- useful for trivial tests

Calculates the mass flux for surface film models.

Example usage:

    filmFlux
    {
        type            filmFlux;
        writeControl    writeTime;
        result          myPhi; // optional
    }

STY: Style and header-content changes

- previously hard-coded, now adjustable within PDRsetFieldsDict

    // Change some predefined patch names
    patchNames
    {
        ground      ground;
        outer       outer;
    }

ENH: additions to PDRutils, improve comments

- expose enumerated expansion names and gridControl (PDRblock).
  Not commonly needed, but useful to have access when defining
  other grid generators

TUT: update PDRsetFieldsDict and tutorials to use "ground"

- remove tutorial references to unused types and legacy obstacles

- use "ground" for the boundary conditions instead of "seaGround".
  Consistent with PDRblockMesh

1) PhaseIncompressibleTurbulenceModel class was changed to use
   uniform alpha and non-uniform rho templates. This fits the need
   of incompressible two phase turbulence models.

2) A new type DPMIncompressibleTurbulenceModel was created for
   non-uniform alpha and uniform rho. It is  used in single phase flows
   in DPM solvers where alpha represents the volumen occupancy.

3) A new type incompressibleRhoTurbulenceModel  was created where
   non-uniform rho is allowed.

4) A new base templated turbulent class for two-phase VOF named
   VoFphaseTurbulentTransportModel was implemented which is created
   templating on PhaseIncompressibleTurbulenceModel and
   incompressibleRhoTurbulenceModel

5) In order to make the chnage to rho based VOF turbulence a help
   class was added incompressibleInterPhaseTransportModel templated
   on the mixing.

TUT: volFieldValue FO: adds usage example
TUT: multiply FO: adds usage example

COMP: fix SP/DP inconsistency in fvGeometryScheme

STYLE: rename polyMesh::updateGeom to polyMesh::updateGeomPoints

- avoids compiler complaints and potential masking of
  primitiveMesh::updateGeom / fvMesh::updateGeom

- mark argument as movable, since that is what is happening inside.

GIT: remove merge cruft

TUT: better clean on MPPICInterFoam

Added 'scale' parameter to cyclicACMI. Scales the amount of 'coupledness' (= mask). Allows opening/closing without mesh motion.

This adds a 'geometry' scheme section to the system/fvSchemes:

geometry
{
    type            highAspectRatio;
}

These 'fvGeometryMethod's are used to calculate
- deltaCoeffs
- nonOrthoCoeffs
etc and can even modify the basic face/cellCentres calculation.

Creates volume fields whose boundaries are used to store patch interaction
statistics.

Current field output per patch face:
- \<cloud\>\<model\>:count - cumulative particle hits
- \<cloud\>\<model\>:mass - cumuluative mass of hitting particles

Fields can be reset according to:
- none: fields are not reset
- timeStep: reset at each time step
- writeTime: reset at each write time

Usage

    patchInteractionFields1
    {
        type            patchInteractionFields;
        resetMode       writeTime;
    }

Member function dKcdTbyKc in thermo.H is calculated from S and G at Pstd.
Thus dGdT was removed from the thermos.

- Add optional hRef, eRef and Tref as optional.

- Use new thermo to multiphase solver icoReactingMuliPhaseFoam

- Remove hRefConst and eRefConst thermos.
