This month in AvaFrame - March 2021 edition
+April 4, 2021
+ + +Welcome to the March 2021 edition of our monthly update.

One big focus this months was a refactor of our AIMEC routines. We realised +that our functions were still too complex, so we decided to
+-
+
- split it into more atomic function to make it easier to access only certain +parts of the AIMEC functionalities. +
- make sure no special folder structure is needed anymore. +
- add an option to compare results from two different com modules. +
- improve and develop the AIMEC plots some more. +
- showcase how to use it by including it in the standard tests. +
All this is especially important in light of our submission to the vEGU 2021. +See here for more information.

Our Windows side is progressing: the windows executable for the com1DFA module +has landed. If you want to try it, you can follow our +installation and +adapt it for windows paths. The documentation will be updated as soon as a +simpler installation method is available. This will (hopefully) be possible +via pypi, first tests look promising, but some kinks need to be ironed out +first.

+
We started an in depth comparison between com1DFA and the python version +com1DFAPy. Since the python version is getting closer to reproduce the com1DFA +results we want to make sure we are covering all the bases. To finally being +able to switch over to the python version, we are now working on adding +entrainment and resistance areas.

And as always plenty of smaller issues and tasks were tackled:
+-
+
- writing theory and numerics documentation. +
- update idealised topos and naming. +
- add description dict/json file for the tests, with an option to filter them using tags. +
- update benchmark tests (ini files, particles, benchmark results also regarding com1DFAPy, damBreak). +
- add option to change entrainment thickness for com1DFA +
- update quickplot with histogram plot insert and 0 values not shown anymore +
+
Since the beginning of the month our team got a bit bigger: we welcome Marie and +Michael, 2 master thesis students, on board. We are looking forward to AvaFrame being +put to the test!
+Hope to see you at the EGU21,
+Felix
