This page contains a short list of notes to help users upgrade cases and codes
from OpenFOAM 1.4 to 1.5. The list will be added to periodically.
turbulenceProperties
In 1.4 the turbulence modelling in OpenFOAM
was split into turbulenceModels, containing Reynolds-averaged stress
(RAS) turbulence models and LESmodels, containing large-eddy
simulation (LES) turbulence models. In order to bring the libraries
up to date with consistent coding standards in OpenFOAM, and to
facilitate the implementation of default coefficients for all models, the
structure has now changed so that there is a single turbulenceModels
library containing RAS and LES components.
As a consequence the name and format of the turbulenceProperties
case dictionary has changed. A script has been supplied, named
foamUpgradeTurbulenceProperties, that can upgrade the dictionary. It can be
executed as follows:
