Example usage:

    cloudFunctions
    {
        WeberNumber1
        {
            type    WeberNumber;
        }
    }

This will calculate and write the Weber number field as a 'standard'
cloud field, available for post-processing alongside other lagrangian
fields in the lagrangian/<cloudName> directory.

Might also consider passing through the remaining hooks, e.g. for postMove,
postPatch, postFace etc

  ENH: add log FO
  ENH: improve log with scale, and offset entries
  BUG: ensure extrueMesh does not fail in parallel with wedge extrusion
  BUG: add missing clone and mapping funcs to copiedFixedValue, fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux
  ENH: meshToMesh0::cellAddressing slight speed up for some geometries
  BUG:0003495: Divide-by-zero in SHF particle break-up model
  BUG:0003492: The formula in the OF is inconsistent with the Rosin-Rammler distribution theory formula

This change abstracts out the reading of "boundaryData". It should
now support OpenFOAM headers and with that also binary input.

- avoids possible confusion with temporary files

Jonathan Cranford authored 4 years ago and Mark OLESEN committed 4 years ago

- missing minThreshold in activePressureForceBaffleVelocity

- update names of cyclics

- increase tolerance for zero-thickness baffles

- velocity field "U" instead of "UBet"

- viscosity field "nut" instead of "mut"

- avoid warnings about masked method names

- replace ':' scoping with IOobject::scopedName(), which automatically
  uses '_' for Windows compilations where the ':' is a meta-character
  (drive separator)

- apply similar local change for the momentum function object.

*** This topic will be revisited in the future ***

- overrides normal deltaT for testing accelerated motion.

  Can be useful to test mesh motions with constant/dynamicMeshDict
  entries (updateControl, updateInterval) where the mesh motion is
  much slower than any of the fluid physics.

  see commit 87bba9ae

This e.g. was giving a problem with using volPointInterpolation (in
functionObjects) with non-blocking global reductions.

ENH: New wall-function blending approaches

See merge request !350

    Please see the Extended Code Guide and header files for the details.

    ENH: add wall-function blending treatments to epsilonWallFunc
         adds `stepwise`, `max`, `binomial`, and `exponential` wall-function
         blending treatments:
    COMP: check backward compatibility for:
          `serial`
          `parallel`
          `serial restart`
          `parallel restart`
          computations in comparison to the following tutorials from v1906:
          `circuitBoardCooling  condensatingVessel  evaporationMultiComponent
           hotRoom  movingBox  multiRegionHeaterRadiation  reverseBurner
           solidQuenching2D`
    STYLE: simplify `forAll`s

    ENH: add new wall blending approaches into omegaWallFunction
         adds stepwise, max, binomial, and exponential wall function blending apprs.
         ensures/forces the backward compatibility:
           - blended = true    (blending:BINOMIAL2) (default)
           - blended = false   (blending:STEPWISE)
        simplifies forAlls
        deprecates objects:
           - "blended" - use "blending::" options
           - "includeG" - as was hardcoded

    ENH: add wall-func blending treatments into nutWallFuncs
    - nutWallFunction
    - nutUWallFunction
    - nutkWallFunction
    COMP: check backward compatibility for:
          - serial
          - parallel
          - serial restart
          - parallel restart
          computations in comparison to the following tutorials from v1906:
          - heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/buoyantCavity
          - compressible/rhoSimpleFoam/gasMixing/injectorPipe

    DOC: modify header docs in wallFuncs
    - nutUTabulatedWallFunction

    - nutUBlendedWallFunction
      - REVERT: change write order

      - ENH: protect against zero-division error through 'Ceps2' entry
      - STYLE: remove few redundant empty lines

CONT: Addition of compressibleIsoInterFoam and PLIC

See merge request !349

Henning Scheufler authored 4 years ago and Andrew Heather committed 4 years ago

   1) Implementation of the compressibleIsoInterFOam solver
   2) Implementation of a new PLIC interpolation scheme.
   3) New tutorials associated with the solvers

This implementation was carried out by Henning Scheufler (DLR) and Johan
Roenby (DHI), following :

\verbatim

Henning Scheufler, Johan Roenby,
Accurate and efficient surface reconstruction from volume fraction data
on general meshes, Journal of Computational Physics, 2019, doi
10.1016/j.jcp.2019.01.009

\endverbatim

The integration of the code was carried out by Andy Heather and Sergio
Ferraris from OpenCFD Ltd.

- refinement of commit 33f9ae50.

  After foamDictionary -expand, the '2.0' becomes '2', so accept that
  as a reasonable token.

- allow conditional skipping of tutorials (for example) if wmake or
  the expected compiler is not available
