<p>A short month with a lot of progress! It went over so quickly, even this post
|
|
missed the end of the month…</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The big focus this month was the implementation of our dense flow kernel
|
|
(com1DFAPy) in python/cython. The aim is to replicate the results of our
|
|
current com1DFA module to be able to swap them.
|
|
This meant diving deep into every numerical/model detail, things like</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>artificial viscosity</li>
|
|
<li>friction forces</li>
|
|
<li>particle initialisation</li>
|
|
<li>and many more.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Alongside this development a lot of <em>supporting</em> work was needed,
|
|
i.e. making things easier for us, as one example: being able to read and export
|
|
particle positions.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>While using our tests we came across some areas to improve on:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>the module <em>ana1Tests</em> was introduced, where we collect code related to
|
|
testing, analytical solutions and similar (however not stuff related to code
|
|
testing, i.e. pytest)</li>
|
|
<li>a helpful new feature is the possibility to filter benchmark tests by tags, i.e.
|
|
one only wants to run tests including entrainment, or only idealised
|
|
topographies, or some other combination</li>
|
|
<li>the similarity solution was improved, with added run script and setup
|
|
reading from ini file.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Then we have a lot of minor improvements:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>global plotting flags, options to save outputs and plots</li>
|
|
<li>rename Velocity to FlowVelocity, rename the <em>hockey</em> test case to <em>parabola</em></li>
|
|
<li>update topographies with channels</li>
|
|
<li>functions for 3D topography plots</li>
|
|
<li>more flexible cleaning routines</li>
|
|
<li>code coverage for cython files</li>
|
|
<li>documentation updates</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>And last but not least: our 2nd Scientific Meeting took place at the beginning
|
|
of the month. Thanks again to all participants for your helpful and much
|
|
appreciated input!</p>
|
|
<p>That’s it for this update, thanks for reading!</p>
