Detailed Description

Dynamic mesh refinement/unrefinement based on volScalarField values.

Refinement can optionally be specified in a cellZone or in multiple regions, each controlled by a different volScalarField.

Usage

Example of single field based refinement in all cells:

topoChanger
{
    type            refiner;

    libs            ("libfvMeshTopoChangers.so");

    // How often to refine
    refineInterval  1;

    // Field to be refinement on
    field           alpha.water;

    // Refine field in between lower..upper
    lowerRefineLevel 0.001;
    upperRefineLevel 0.999;

    // Have slower than 2:1 refinement
    nBufferLayers   1;

    // Refine cells only up to maxRefinement levels
    maxRefinement   2;

    // Stop refinement if maxCells reached
    maxCells        200000;

    // Flux field and corresponding velocity field. Fluxes on changed
    // faces get recalculated by interpolating the velocity. Use 'none'
    // on surfaceScalarFields that do not need to be reinterpolated.
    correctFluxes
    (
        (phi none)
        (nHatf none)
        (rhoPhi none)
        (alphaPhi.water none)
        (ghf none)
    );

    // Write the refinement level as a volScalarField
    dumpLevel       true;
}

Example of single field based refinement in two regions:

topoChanger
{
    type            refiner;

    // How often to refine
    refineInterval  1;

    refinementRegions
    {
        region1
        {
            cellZone        refinementRegion1;

            // Field to be refinement on
            field           alpha.water;

            // Refine field in between lower..upper
            lowerRefineLevel 0.001;
            upperRefineLevel 0.999;

            // Refine cells only up to maxRefinement levels
            maxRefinement   1;

            // If value < unrefineLevel unrefine
            unrefineLevel   10;
        }

        region2
        {
            cellZone        refinementRegion2;

            // Field to be refinement on
            field           alpha.water;

            // Refine field in between lower..upper
            lowerRefineLevel 0.001;
            upperRefineLevel 0.999;

            // Refine cells only up to maxRefinement levels
            maxRefinement   2;

            // If value < unrefineLevel unrefine
            unrefineLevel   10;
        }
    }

    // If value < unrefineLevel (default=great) unrefine
    // unrefineLevel   10;
    // Have slower than 2:1 refinement
    nBufferLayers   1;

    // Stop refinement if maxCells reached
    maxCells        200000;

    // Flux field and corresponding velocity field. Fluxes on changed
    // faces get recalculated by interpolating the velocity. Use 'none'
    // on surfaceScalarFields that do not need to be reinterpolated.
    correctFluxes
    (
        (phi none)
        (nHatf none)
        (rhoPhi none)
        (alphaPhi.water none)
        (ghf none)
    );

    // Write the refinement level as a volScalarField
    dumpLevel       true;
}
