Process' changes
- Reactive transport process:
- allow to assign chemical formula alternative to a component when defining water composition. !3122
- output equilibrium and kinetic reactants (immobile phase) in amount. !3138, !3141
- Heat Transport BHE process: allow to specify a flow and temperature control condition with the BHE inflow rate and temperature values both following the corresponding curves. !3125
- ThermoHydroMechanics:
- The storage is now derived from the fluid density and the solid bulk modulus. !3159
- Fix bug in temperature equation for non-zero velocity. !3193
- HydroMechanics: Allow linear shape functions for displacement. !3334
- Use MPL properties in HeatConduction process. !3062
- Fix bug in deactivation of subdomains !3065
- Exterior forces output in LiquidFlow and HeatConduction. !3068
- Allow thermal expansion to be anisotropic in ThermoHydroMechanics process. !3107
- Improve generic interface for updating medium property variables. !3262
- Improve generic interface for computing secondary variables. !3227
- Component transport process: output flow velocity averaged over integration points. !3254
Boundary condition and source terms
- Added a special Dirichlet boundary condition called "SolutionDependentDirichlet". The value assigned for the boundary condition is dependent on the process solution of last time step. !3085, !3123
- Cleanup of source term implementations (use volumetric source terms for line source terms). !3233
Numerics
- Changed the way to pass dot x for staggered scheme. !3082
- Add dotx to postNonLinearSolver. !3164
- The extrapolators now accept an empty integration point values vector, in which case these are ignored. For now relevant only for LIE/SD process. !3117
- LIE; Update Heaviside function to [-1/2,1/2] range. !3140
Parameter
- The "Function" type parameter becomes independent from a domain specification, i.e. it is not any longer possible and necessary to specify a domain via a mesh tag !3054
- Extend the "Function" type parameter to handle time in the expressions introducing the t variable, additionally to the currently available x, y, z. !3054
- Pass curves to the "Function" parameter, such that they can be used in expressions like
curveA(sin(t))
. !3058 - Increased the tolerance for |A|=1 test in coordinate system. !3203
Time stepping
- Fixed bugs in the fixed time output. !3026
- Removed the fixed output time data from time stepper classes. !3080
- Allow time stepping continue after nonlinear fails in the staggered coupling loop. !3106
Material models
- New material models:
- strain dependent permeability !3236
- relative permeability model 'RelativePermeabilityUdell'. !3290
- saturation dependent thermal conductivity. !3298
- permeability model 'Kozeny-Carman Model'. !3264
- Linear, saturation dependent swelling stress model. !3096
- Pass variables from previous time step to MPL Property::value() calls where increments are required. All *rate variables were removed in
favor of the increments. !3102 - Use 2D coordinate system for LinearElasticOrthotropic solid material. A bugfix, now allowing 2D anisotropy and solid material orthotropy to be used simultaneously. !3165
- Unused MPL properties are shown as warnings after successful run in debug mode. !3197
- Error message now informs user of missing properties on the medium scale. !3337
- Bugfix of a 2D case in MFront's implementation of Mohr-Coulomb-Abbo-Sloan anisotropic model. !3260
- Update interface of the solid material models now accepting MPL Variables. !3261
File I/O
- New optional output format XDMF:
- light data is written into .xdmf file and heavy data into .h5 file. !3184
- reduced number of iNodes for HPC applications and removed redundancies in file output. !3246
Visualization
- Refactored insitu-functionality for VTK 9 / ParaView 5.8. The mpi container generated by the CI job now contains this functionality. !3092
partmesh
tool now exports "vtkGhostType" array indicating duplicate cells. !3111- Fixed ghost element bug #3035. !3299
Documentation and webpages
- Update the Heat_Transport_BHE PipeNetwork Tutorial to TESPy version 0.3.x API. !3070
- Three-part video tutorial available on YouTube. !3278
