      coupled patches, to prevent rebound/stick/etc... on these patches. Also
      added "none" interaction type to LocalInteraction, which reverts the
      patch interaction to the fundamental behaviour. This is primarily useful
      for non-coupled constraint types.

      pitzDaily tutorials: updated blockMeshDict files to use multi-grading · 6f5caf28
      Chris Greenshields authored
      The pitzDaily case uses a lot of mesh grading close to walls and the shear layer.
      Prior to v2.4, blockMesh only permitted grading in one direction within a single block,
      so the pitzDaily mesh comprised of 13 blocks to accommodate the complex grading pattern.
      
      blockMesh has multi-grading that allows users to divide a block in a given direction and
      apply different grading within each division.  The mesh generated with blockMesh using
      13 blocks has been replaced with a mesh of 5 blocks that use multi-grading.  The new
      blockMeshDict configuration produces a mesh very similar to the original 13-block mesh.

      combustionModels::EDC: New Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) turbulent combustion model · dd154781
      Henry Weller authored
      including support for TDAC and ISAT for efficient chemistry calculation.
      
      Description
          Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) turbulent combustion model.
      
          This model considers that the reaction occurs in the regions of the flow
          where the dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy takes place (fine
          structures). The mass fraction of the fine structures and the mean residence
          time are provided by an energy cascade model.
      
          There are many versions and developments of the EDC model, 4 of which are
          currently supported in this implementation: v1981, v1996, v2005 and
          v2016.  The model variant is selected using the optional \c version entry in
          the \c EDCCoeffs dictionary, \eg
      
          \verbatim
              EDCCoeffs
              {
                  version v2016;
              }
          \endverbatim
      
          The default version is \c v2015 if the \c version entry is not specified.
      
          Model versions and references:
          \verbatim
              Version v2005:

      rigidBodyMeshMotion: Added optional force damping ramp function · ab65533e
      Henry Weller authored
      to provide smoother behavior on start-up when an acceleration impulse is
      applied, e.g. if the body is suddenly released.  e.g.
      
      dynamicFvMesh       dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
      
      motionSolverLibs   ("librigidBodyMeshMotion.so");
      
      solver             rigidBodyMotion;
      
      rigidBodyMotionCoeffs

          }
      .
      .
      .
      
      will quadratically ramp the forces from 0 to their full values over the first
      10s of the run starting from 0.  If the 'ramp' entry is omitted no force ramping
      is applied.

      Henry Weller authored
      Description
          Ramp function base class for the set of scalar functions starting from 0 and
          increasing monotonically to 1 from \c start over the \c duration and

      Function1: Rationalized construction to support the simpler sub-dictionary format · 2e2bfd23

      e.g.
          ramp

          ramp linear;
          rampCoeffs
