- similar to surface writing formats, also support optional
  dictionary of reading options. The main beneficiary of this is the
  ensight surface reader:

  readOptions
  {
      ensight
      {
          masterOnly true;
      }
  }

  This will restrict reading to the master rank. Surfaces and values
  read will be broadcast to the other ranks, with the intention of
  reducing load on the filesystem.

ENH: add writing of Dimensioned fields for areaWrite functionObject

- can be useful for examining finite-area source terms

- improve communicator wrapping
- avoid indexing errors when using partial subranks
- UPstream::is_subrank (for testing partial subranks)

ENH: fvOptions: add writeFile functionality

STYLE: solarLoad: replace uppercase index variables with lowercase

Kutalmış Berçin authored 2 years ago and Andrew Heather committed 2 years ago

This change enables face zones creating shades and interacting with shades.

ENH: solarLoad: initialise hit faces in ctor level

mattijs authored 2 years ago and Andrew Heather committed 2 years ago

The new selection option 'outside' can be used to select
faces with only one neighbour in the specified cellSet.

TUT: moved the nutSqr objective tutorial to the proper directory

- flowRate: volume flow-rate through given patches
- flowRatePartition: distribution of the inlet flow-rate to certain
  outlet patches, with given percentages
- uniformityPatch: uniformity of the velocity field at given (outlet) patches,
  expressed as (half) the variance of the velocity field
- uniformityCellZone: same as uniformityPatch, but defined over
  cellZones
- powerDissipation: the fluid power dissipation taking place within
  given cellZones. In the absence of viscous stress at the "inlets" and
  "outlets" of the cellZones, this corresponds to the volume flow-rate
  weighted total pressure losses through the cellZones

ENH: updated nutSqr so it can be used with adjointkOmegaSST too

Vaggelis Papoutsis authored 2 years ago and Andrew Heather committed 2 years ago

to help allocate pointers related to contributions to the adjoint
turbulence model PDEs, populate them and check the validity of the
cellZones provided for cellZone-based objectives

ENH: Added new parallelFvGeometryScheme

See merge request Development/openfoam!576

REVERT: add heuristic handling of tensor-field inverses - simplify algorithm

- was already included in many places (via UList.C templates), but now
  formalise by placing in stdFoam.H

- more standard naming than peekFront() etc

- eg, for user MPI operations that are to be tracked separately

ENH: KinematicSurfaceFilm: add option to specify interacting parcel types

See merge request !581

Andrew Heather authored 2 years ago and Kutalmış Berçin committed 2 years ago

This pack adds a new entry 'parcelTypes' which can specify the list of
parcel type IDs interacting with a surface film. If the entry
is omitted, all particle types are considered.

```
    surfaceFilmModel kinematicSurfaceFilm;

    kinematicSurfaceFilmCoeffs
    {
        interactionType absorb;

        // Optional list of participating parcel IDs
        parcelTypes     (10);
    }
```

To set the parcel type by injector, 'injectorID' entry can be used
when specifying the injector models, e.g.

```
injectionModels
{
    model1
    {
        type            <injectionModelType>;

        // Optional injector ID
        // - if ommitted, parcels use '-1'
        injectorID      10;

        ...
    }
}
```
