- previously had a patch-size check, which caused a zero-sized patch
  to be "sticky" as uniform Zero regardless of what the original input
  stated (eg, "constant 0.5")

  This was caused by short-circuiting logic that circumvented reading
  on zero-size patches.

- dictionary parameters to change the bend angle

- blockMesh transform parameters to allow different orientations

- support non-uniform scaling, prescaling and cartesian coordinate
  transformations.

  Eg, stretch in one direction and then rotate
  ```
  prescale  (1.5 1 1);
  transform
  {
      origin   (0 0 0);
      rotation
      {
          type  axisAngle;
          axis  (0 0 1);
          angle 45;
      }
  }
  ```

- support "transformed" versions of blockMesh vertices, topology.
  With the additional of transformations etc, a simplistic application
  of a single scale parameter is no longer sufficient.

    new:  blMesh.vertices(true);
    old:  blMesh.vertices() * blMesh.scaleFactor();

    new:  blMesh.topology(true);
    old:  N/A

- add individual edge access for blockDescriptor.
  Saves copying and duplicate calculations.

- handle '(block face)' specification for curved faces,
  which is ok for external block faces, but likely somewhat
  questionable if used for internal block faces.

- searchable box, boxToCell, boxToFace, boxToPoint

- added hexCell for some more encapsulation

- Can specify
  ```
  transform
  {
      origin      (1 2 3);
      rotation    none;
  }
  ```
  instead of the longer form
  ```
  transform
  {
      origin      (1 2 3);
      e1          (1 0 0);
      e3          (0 0 1);
  }
  ```

COMPAT: remove old (pre-1812) Euler and STARCD keywords

- use "angles", remove old compat name "rotation"
  as clutter and possible confusion with "coordinate rotation"

STYLE: remove coordinate rotation move constructors

- an unnecessary holdover from older code.

- separate handling of auxiliary files vs time directories

- restore0Dir: avoid removing 0/ if 0.orig/ does not exist

finiteArea: new models and solvers for films

STYLE: vibrationShellModel and thermalShellModel: regroup the access functions

sergio authored 3 years ago and Sergio Ferraris committed 3 years ago

The original thermoSurfaceFilm sub-models were divided between kinematicSurfaceFilm and thermoSurfaceFilm in order to use the surfaceFilm model in a kinematicCloud.

The film interaction models are now in a kinematicSurface class which can be used in a kinematic cloud adding constant thermal properties (p and T) for some sub-models, e.g. drySplashInteraction/wetSplashInteraction.

pRef and Tref were added to the kinematicSurfaceFilm as entry to the regionFilm when used with a kinematic cloud.

In the finite area surface film model Tref, pRef are stored in filmSubModelBase.

ENH: Several additions to thinFilm models

1) Changing the faSolution entry nonOrthoCorr to nFilmCorr entry.
   This entry specify the number of iterations on the film thickness
   Eq which does not correct for laplacian non-orthogonality.

2) Changing laminar turbulent model for the skin friction exerted by
   the flow to the film.

3) Adding optional relaxation factors for source terms coming from
   the added mass of the lagragian particles into the film such as
   rhoSp, pnSp and Usp. Similarly the film pressure (pf) can  be
   relaxed in the inner loops.

4) Adding optional entries to curvatureSepration injection model.
   minimum (fThreshold) force and minimum curvature (minInvR1) for
   separation were added to have more control on determining the
   points of film separation
