Notable changes to OpenFOAM-dev
In the damping fvOption, corrected the handling of multiple damping regions [ commit 1cd4b2 ]
New “slash” (/) syntax to access data at different dictionary levels in input files using macro ($) expansions [ commit a7b842 ] including support for absolute paths to input files [ commit b7c0cd ]
Updated tutorials, template cases, foamDictionary for the new “slash” (/) dictionary syntax [ commits 26187d ]
New syntax in blockMesh allows specification of an arc using an angle and axis [ commit 73d253 ]
Added fixes to avoid erosion of surfaces to nothing in isoSurface processing [ commit 916d0a ]
Added a filtering option in isoSurface to control the level of vertex removal [ commit 916d0a ]
In particle modelling, corrected calculation of Eötvös number [ commit aab3a2 ]
The ParaView reader module can now visualise surface and point fields [ commit b7c064 ] and volume internal fields [ commit 67d3a8 ]; foamToVTK also now supports volume internal fields [ commit 53e845 ]
Corrected error in scatter of a particle cloud, which impacts radiation scattering [ commit 7e6528 ]
Temporary objects, e.g. fields, can now be cached to enable further processing and writing of data. Cached objects can be physical, e.g. a model source term, or numerical, e.g. a numerical limiter, allowing analysis of software internals [ commit fdf121 ]
Redesigned reactions to be owned (i.e. instantiated) by the chemistryModel rather than the thermophysical model, so that reaction rate can depend on any field rather than just the thermodynamic state [ commits 0e52c6]
In the SpalartAllmaras DES models, reduced storage of temporary fields and enabled writing of the LES region [ commit 4a810c ]
