We happily and proudly announce today's release of DuMuX 3.0!
You may get the new release via git
git clone -b releases/3.0
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux.git
or you can download the tarball at
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/archive/3.0.0/dumux-3.0.0.tar.gz
DuMuX 3.0 is a major version update. It is not backward compatible in
all aspects to 2.12. The following minor version updates will be, as
before for the DuMuX 2-series, always backward compatible to at least
the last minor version update. DuMuX 3.0 is based on Dune 2.6 and is
expected to run with the current Dune master.
The tutorial has been replaced by the new module `dumux-course` which is
accessible at
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux-course. We
recommend new users and also users experienced with DuMuX 2.X to clone
the course and have a look at the exercises in there.
There are numerous improvements and enhancements. On the general side,
there are, among many others:
- New style main files: The sequence of simulation steps was linearized,
meaning that each step is visible in the program's main file. In the new
main files, one can clearly see the io, initialization, assembly,
solving, update, time loop, etc., of the program. This renders it
possible to customize the program flow to the individual needs in a much
easier and much more transparent way.
- Property system and runtime parameters: All macros have been replaced
by native C++!
- TypeTag templates: In order to avoid unnecessary dependencies and
allow to share class instantiations between problems using different
TypeTags, we replaced the single TypeTag parameter by a small number of
specific template arguments for many classes. On the surface, this is
visible in the SpatialParams classes. , We encourage everyone to avoid
TypeTag as a template argument for class templates, apart from the top
problem class.
- Assembly: The assembler can now assemble implicit and explicit Euler
time discretizations.
In terms of models, physics and methods, also a lot has happened, of
course all to the better. A small subset is:
- MPFA schemes: The new core comes with a framework for MPFA schemes, in
which currently the only available scheme is the MPFA-O scheme. It can
be used in conjunction with any DuMuX model and also works on surface grids.
- Box-dfm: The `2pdfm` model from version 2.12 has been generalized such
that it can be used on any DuMuX model and in both two and three dimensions.
- Tracer transport: A new model for tracer transport with a given flow
field has been added. The model can be also used to implement
sequentially coupled simulations, or iterative solvers where flow and
transport are decoupled / weakly coupled.
- Mineralization: An adapter model for mineralization has been added and
can be used with all porousmediumflow models. A balance for the solid
volume fraction of precipitating, adsorbed, or absorbed substances is
added to the existing equations.
- Multidomain: DuMuX 3.0 introduces a new multidomain framework which
does no longer depend on `dune-multidomain` and can be used for the
coupling of an arbitrary number of subdomains. The sub-domains can be
regions in which different sets of equations are solved and/or which
have different dimensionalities.
- Free-flow models: The previous Navier-Stokes model using the box
method has been replaced by one that employs a staggered grid
discretization. The new method does not require any stabilization
techniques
