Changelog/Release Notes

On this page we provide a summary of the main API changes, new features and examples for each release of HONEE.

Current main branch

New features

  • For strong STG, element size is calculated from cell-to-face basis. -stg_dx no longer needed in that case.

  • Add projection of the divergence of diffusive flux for Navier-Stokes equations, see !27

  • Add sine and square wave initial conditions for advection-diffusion example, see !38

  • Add diffusion component of stabilization tau formulation for advection-diffusion, see !42

  • Add projection of the divergence of diffusive flux for advection-diffusion equations, see !43

  • Add boundary layer IC and wind type to advection-diffusion equations, see !46

  • Add -bl_height_factor option for boundary layer IC in advection-diffusion equations, see !70

  • Add -ts_monitor_total_kinetic_energy

  • Add -honee_check_step_interval to verify solution validity during simulation

  • Add -honee_max_wall_time_{duration,buffer,interval} for stopping a simulation based on expired wall clock time

  • Add initial condition loading from CGNS files. Requires PETSc to be built with CGNS with parallel support (e.g. with MPI).

  • Add -ts_monitor_cfl for CFL statistics monitoring

  • Add HONEE_StrongBCInsert and HONEE_StrongBCCeed log events

  • Add -ksp_post_solve_residual to print KSP residual summary information (can be done for -mass as well)

  • Enable projection of the divergence of diffusive flux for explicit Navier-Stokes

  • Add -mass_ksp_view_pre_ts_solve to view the mass KSP once before TSSolve() is run

  • Spanwise statistics writes a logging message when a file is written, which includes post-processing information (e.g. time span for the statistics)

  • Add -ts_eval_solutions_view to output solutions gathered via -ts_eval_times

  • Add -taylorgreen_background_velocity to add a background velocity to the initial condition

  • Add HONEEGetGitVersion() to access the Git commit and dirty state of the repository at build time.

  • Add HONEEGetVersion() to access the semantic version of HONEE at runtime.

  • Add HoneeGetBuildConfiguration() function for retrieving build configuration info.

  • Extend BCDefinition to handle boundary integral setup (BCDefinition{Get,Set}DM(), BCDefinition{Get,Set}Context(), BCDefinitionSetIFunction(), BCDefinitionSetIJacobian(), and BCDefinitionAddOperators())

Internal

  • Add HoneeLoadInitialCondition() to consolidate initial condition logic

  • Move Honee typedef to include/honee.h

  • Remove SimpleBC struct

Breaking changes

  • Deprecate -continue and -continue_time_filename. Continuing from file controlled by -continue_filename

  • Change -checkpoint_interval default value from 10 to 0 (CGNS is the standard restart file format now)

  • Update definition of PetscOptionsItems to reflect new status as pointer-to-struct rather than just struct. Requires latest PETSc.

  • Change -ts_monitor_turbulence_spanstats_viewer -> -ts_monitor_turbulence_spanstats and a few similar changes, see !108
