Goal: reduce the divergence between the formatting of quantity names across the APIs.
Expressions format for physical variables is camel case: "AbsolutePressure". That also shows up in reduction code, e.g.,
data model APIs format is separate capitalized words, e.g., "Velocity", "Mass Flow". These show up in the unitQuantity attribute.
The unit-quantity attribute in the settings API uses lower-case names, e.g., "velocity". For multiple-word names, this presumably extends thus: "specific-heat" (in the Fluent format).
Note that both unitQuantity and unit-quantity will be exposed via methods with the same name across various APIs.
Attributes for actual concrete physical variables in the settings API have names like
velocity
,thermal_conductivity
andspecific_heat
. For the data model APIs the names are likeOperatingPressure
