Previous meeting minutes

Minutes

Present: David Ham, Tuomas Karna, Stephan Kramer, Mariana Clare, Koki Sagiyama, Joe Wallwork

Joe: tracer timesteppers

2D tracer model currently only supports Crank-Nicolson. See tracer-timesteppers branch for implementation of other schemes.

Tuomas: Progress on wetting-drying, pressure gradient cancellation method, conservative swe, HLL fluxes

See Slack for Balzano test video. Cancelling pressure gradient term is sufficient for drying phase, but there is a problem with wetting case.

Roe fluxes can dry out a cell, whereas HLL would not.

All the pieces are there for a very good wetting and drying scheme, but it might be quite slow due to the slope limiters. Also not obvious how to extend to implicit time integrators.

Stephan: interpolate in adjoint

SK asked about the status.

DH: all the bits are there to make this happen, but it hasn't been implemented yet. Masters student may work on this in June.

Mariana: adjoint taylor test issue

SK: Addressed in PR #206

DH: See Firedrake docs for info on generating parallel-safe random fields in Firedrake.

Koki: ufl.Filtered

See Firedrake Issue #1648 for discussion of the coefficient-like Filtered object introduced by KS.

Filtering conceptually similar to indexing. Allows assembly of certain Jacobian rows or certain residual components.

Will allow us to solve problems on sub-domains.
