Winter is slowly creeping up on us, so here is the next AvaFrame update:
We created a new results folder structure for com1DFA, now simulation files can be addressed according to their name and characteristics such as simulation type, name of release area and many more via a dictionary.
Now there is also the option to vary not only the friction parameter mu but also the release thickness. Besides this new option, more and more simulation parameters can now be set in python.
+ We heavily worked on the dense flow avalanche module com1DFA, bringing
functionality from its native code over to python functions. Now there is
the option to do parameter variations on friction parameters and release thickness automatically.
Besides this new option, more and more simulation parameters can now be set in python.
+ Regarding the necessary executable for the com1DFA (dense flow) module: we
discovered some discrepancy which we currently work on to resolve. The
differences to our reference results are minuscule, but we would like to
understand the source of it. Once this is resolved, we will release the
executable as a first step to bringing it fully open source.
+ We created a new results folder structure for com1DFA, now simulation files
can be addressed according to their name and characteristics such as
simulation type, name of release area and many more via a dictionary.
+ The full documentation for com1DFA (dense flow) took a big step forward, you
can see it here
[docs.avaframe.org](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/appendixCom1DFA.html).
Please be aware, this is currently not reviewed yet and still heavily being
worked on.
+ The AlphaBeta and AIMEC modules also received improved documentation, but
again, not completely done yet.
+ The AIMEC computation and plotting routines are now a lot cleaner and easier
to read.
+ The plotting routines are developed/improved with styling of the plots and
new colormaps. To use a modern visualisation, we are working in the HCL color
space wherever possible. For more information about this see [hclwizard](http://hclwizard.org).
**Quarterly Outlook**
We are currently working towards version 0.1, a bare bones first version
including the main modules com1DFA, com2AB (AlphaBeta) and the necessary support
modules, like logging, input/output and report generation. With this experienced
users will be able to run avalanche simulations. This will also include
our dense flow executable mentioned above. Towards the end of the year
we will concentrate on testing, improving our code-coverage and documentation.
The development of the interface to QGis, i.e. triggering simulations right out
of QGis, will also start around this time.
Excited to see the first simulation results,
Felix
My this month in avaframe would be:
*Working on the comparison tool AIMEC:
-Main routine Ana3AIMEC clead up and tested
-Documentation up to date
-Some further development on the ploting routine on its way
*Creating a colormap siuted for avalanche data visualisation:
-Discrete cmap for end users with predefined levels
-continuous cmap for developers
*Writting theory doc for com1DFA
