This month in AvaFrame - April 2021 edition

+

May 5, 2021

+ + +
+ +

Welcome to the April 2021 edition of our monthly update.

+

Apart from the release of version 0.3, we put a lot of effort into our +python/cython dense flow avalanche module com1DFAPy, targeting a swap with +com1DFA within the next month:

+
    +
  • +

    com1DFAPy now includes:

    +
      +
    • +

      an additional particle initialisation method: the per depth method

      +
      • +
    • +

      the option to use secondary release areas. They are being triggered if +particles enter the area of a secondary release area.

      +
      • +
    • +

      split simulation types for entrainment and resistance. So far only a +combined type existed. This allows for more granular and easier control of +different simulation setups.

      +
      • +
    • +

      distinguish grid size used for the normal computation and for interpolating +the fields from the grid used for neighbour search (kernel smoothing length).

      +
      • +
    • +

      an option to remesh the input DEM

      +
      • +
    • +

      better output options to reduce computational costs (mainly RAM usage)

      +
      • +
    • +

      proper handling of overlapping release areas

      +
      • +
    +
    • +
+

The second big block tackles reporting and visualisation:

+
    +
  • +

    output options for visualisation in Paraview

    +
    • +
  • +

    introduce constraining plots to data plus a buffer zone

    +
    • +
  • +

    generate report and plots to validate the entrainment

    +
    • +
  • +

    update benchmark files, ini files and run scripts to new options

    +
    • +
  • +

    improve Aimec plots (add some statistical information about the error)

    +
    • +
+

And last but not least, this month also saw us also focusing on getting things ready for the EGU:

+
    +
  • +

    a new page was introduced in our docu about +testing including an +example of a full report of our standard tests. There you’ll also find all +available test topographies.

    +
    • +
  • +

    we presented these tests and our strategy at EGU21, see +abstract and publicly +available video.

Release version 0.3

+

April 26, 2021

+ + +
+ +

We just released version 0.3 - The AIMEC and Windows release -

+

This release brings an AIMEC refactor, plenty of improvements related to the +test cases and Windows capabilities. 3 new idealised/generic test case are +included: flat plane, inclined slope and pyramid.

+

Com1DFAPy recieved a lot of advancement as well, e.g. parts of it are converted +to cython to speed up computation times.

+

Documentation regarding our testing is included, see more at the +testing page.

+

Contributors to version 0.3:

+
    +
  • Code: core team
    • +
+

Please go to our documentation and our github +repository to find out more.

+

As always, we are happy to receive your feedback, either use github +issues or contact us on our +matrix +channel
