Dear DuMuXers,
we are happy to announce that the 2.8 version of DuMuX is now available.
Hopefully you profit from the changes. We recommend to change to the
current version.
You can download the tarball from
http://www.dumux.org/download/dumux-2.8.0.tar.gz
Alternatively, and particularly if you want to develop within the DuMuX
module directory,you can svn-checkout the release branch:
svn checkout --username=anonymous --password=''
svn://svn.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/DUMUX/dumux/branches/release-2.8 dumux
Below you find the most important changes:
* IMPORTANT NOTES:
- DuMuX 2.8 is expected to run based on either Dune 2.3 or Dune 2.4.
However,
no attempt has been made to fix the warnings arising from the
deprecation of
EntityPointer in Dune 2.4. This will be made during the next
release cycle.
Moreover, using the multidomain models based on Dune 2.4 is
currently only
possible by patching dune-multidomaingrid. See
test/multidomain/README for
details.
* DELETED BUILD SYSTEM: The Autotools based build system was removed,
use the
CMake based build system as it is default since Dune 2.4.
* IMPROVEMENTS and ENHANCEMENTS:
- New fully-implicit porous-media models for two fluid phases that
may consist
of an arbitrary number of components have been added. The basic one is
associated with the property TwoPNC, see test/implicit/2pnc. A more
advanced
one that incorporates solid-fluid phase changes is indicated by
TwoPNCMin,
see test/implicit/2pncmin.
- The implicit cell-centered models now can use adaptive grid
refinement. To
make a test problem adaptive, just set the property AdaptiveGrid to
true and
choose corresponding indicators via AdaptionInitializationIndicator and
AdaptionIndicator, see test/implicit/2p/lensproblem.hh for an
example. So
far, indicators are only provided for the TwoPModel. Indicators for
other
models will be provided in the future, as well as parallelization
and box
discretization.
- With the CpGridCreator, a grid creator has been introduced that
reads from a
Petrel output / Eclipse input file and generates a CpGrid that is
offered by
the OPM module dune-cornerpoint. The fully-implicit cell-centered
models are
now able to deal with cornerpoint grids. See
test/implicit/2p/test_cc2pcornerpoint for a test of the
functionality. A
realistic corner-point grid will be provided in dumux-lecture soon.
The OPM
modules need to be patched to be compatible with Dune's CMake based
build
system, see patches/README for details.
- Zero equation turbulence models (zeroeq) have been added as new models
to the freeflow folder. Tests for coupling a turbulent free flow using
zeroeq turbulence models with flow in a porous medium have been added.
- A new class GridCreator is now the new standard grid creator replacing
DgfGridCreator. It comprises all functionality from the
DgfGridCreator (see
also immediate interface changes), plus the ability to read gmsh, or to
build a structured grid (only with Dune 2.4) by merely changing the
input
file.
- Multidomain problems can now be run by using the general start routine,
just as most other problems. For this, the constructor of the
multidomain
problems has been changed and the InterfaceMeshCreator has been
replaced by
the InterfaceGridCreator, see below.
- The Richards model has now an additional flag useHead, which can be
used to
switch between a pressure-saturation and a pressureHead-watercontent
formulation. The primary variables are either pressure in [Pa] or
pressure
head in [cm], respectively. Default is useHead = false. See
test/implicit/richards for details.
- A bug in the diffusion term in the freeflow models has been fixed.
- A lot of work has been devoted to improving the testing
environment, adding
new tests, restructuring the handbook and improving the documentation.
See the file CHANGELOG for more detailed information.
