Detailed Description

Calculation of approximate distance to nearest patch for all cells and boundary by solving Poisson's equation.

Example of the wallDist specification in fvSchemes:

    laplacianSchemes
    {
        .
        .
        laplacian(yPsi) Gauss linear corrected;
        .
        .
    }

    wallDist
    {
        method Poisson;

        // Optional entry enabling the calculation
        // of the normal-to-wall field
        nRequired false;
    }

Also the solver specification for yPsi is required in fvSolution, e.g. for simple cases:

    yPsi
    {
        solver          PCG;
        preconditioner  DIC;
        tolerance       1e-5;
        relTol          0;
    }

or for more complex cases:

    yPsi
    {
        solver          GAMG;
        smoother        GaussSeidel;
        cacheAgglomeration true;
        nCellsInCoarsestLevel 10;
        agglomerator    faceAreaPair;
        mergeLevels     1;
        tolerance       1e-5;
        relTol          0;
    }
