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](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/testing.html) 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](https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu21-6560) and [publicly
|
|
available video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS7zdlByLQE).
