Welcome to our next monthly update.
|
|
|
|
+ This month started with the exciting (at least for us :-) ) release of
|
|
version 0.1. Head over to our [github repository](https://github.com/avaframe/avaframe)
|
|
and our [documentation](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/v0.1) to learn more about
|
|
it (or read our last [post](https://avaframe.org/posts/version0_1/)).
|
|
|
|
+ With this release (and the rest of the month as well) we improved our
|
|
documentation quite a lot. New *getting started* and *installation* pages
|
|
should make it possible for you to get started (*ha, who would have
|
|
guessed*..) with AvaFrame. To make it more readable we reordered the modules
|
|
documentation. Just recently we started adding the API documentation with all
|
|
our functions as well (for those interested: this is achieved with sphinx
|
|
autodoc/autosummary and docstrings). To acknowledge the (very important) data
|
|
providers, a data sources page was added, with sources and references to data
|
|
we use in our framework.
|
|
|
|
+ Our existing test cases received more features, now we include multiple
|
|
release areas and multiple scenarios per avalanche. Also included are scenarios
|
|
with resistance areas for our main dense flow avalanche kernel.
|
|
|
|
+ The first data for real avalanche test cases has made it to the
|
|
repository. So far we concentrated on idealised cases, but we now include 6
|
|
real world avalanches. For now release areas and DEMs are available. Soon these
|
|
cases will also end up in our test scripts.
|
|
|
|
+ New functions for probability / parameter range simulations are available for
|
|
the dense flow kernel com1DFA. Testing this with an applied example is underway at
|
|
the moment.
|
|
|
|
+ We started working on the implementation of our dense flow kernel com1DFA in
|
|
python. This means digging deep into the programming and theory of our C++ reference
|
|
code. The base structure is already there, current developments concentrate on the
|
|
implementation of 2D SPH for depth integrated equations on a surface living in
|
|
3D and time discretizations, among others. Head over to our
|
|
[github issues](https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/issues/) to get an idea about
|
|
the issues (..ha..) at hand.
|
|
|
|
+ And finally: the second steering committee meeting took place. Which reminds
|
|
me, I need to add a page about AvaFrame's organisational structure... So watch
|
|
this space...
|
|
|
|
On to the next month!
