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](https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/EGU21-6560.html) 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](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/installation.html) 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,
|
