Class
Foam::functionEntries::streamEntry
Description
Compiles and executes C++ OpenFOAM code string expressions
inserting the result into the dictionary or dictionary entry. The
functionality of \#stream is equivalent to \#codeStream but with a
simpler syntax, relying on separate \#codeInclude entries to provide
required include files. For more details see
Foam::functionEntries::codeStream.
Usage
Example to find the root of f(x) = x + B*x/sqrt(1 + sqr(x)) - A
using Newton-Raphson iteration
\verbatim
A 1;
B 1;
x #stream
#{
// Lookup the coefficients
const scalar A = $A;
const scalar B = $B;
// Initial guess for x
scalar x = 0;
scalar x0 = x;
do
{
// Store the previous iteration x for the convergence check
x0 = x;
// Temporary sub-function evaluations
const scalar f1 = 1 + sqr(x);
const scalar f2 = sqrt(f1);
// Evaluate the function
const scalar f = x + B*x/f2 - A;
// Evaluate the derivative
const scalar df = 1 + B/(f1*f2);
// Update x
x = x0 - f/df;
// Test for convergence
} while (mag(x - x0) > 1e-6);
os << x;
#};
\endverbatim
