CHANGELOG.md

Version 2.12

• 2D surface processes implementation. Update to surface processes file to include erosion & sedimentation rate or diffusive surface in 2D.
• Tutorials that outline how to use the different surface processes.
• Free Surface examples.

Bug Fixes:

• Drucker Prager Yield Criterion in 3D. A sign error resulted in a lower Yield Stress which resulted in more diffuse weakening when using plasticity with a DP criterion. This has likely impacted all 3D models since early versions of UWGeodynamics. We recommend updating asap.
• Fix some typos in the Rheology references (Asthenospheric type rheology from Watremez et al was referred as Lithospheric)
• Fix Free surface implementation.

Version 2.11

• Change Passive Tracers Interface. The Model.add_passive_tracers method now return None. Tracers can be accessed via the Model object. This is to avoid orphans and usage errors when doing a restart.
• Add option to pass UW function (or mesh variable) to the density material properties.
• Model.init_model() excepts arguments to optional to initiliase temperature and pressure fields with an UW function or a mesh variable.
• Various bug fixes.

Version 2.10

• Layer2D which has now been deprecated for a while has been removed

Version 2.9

User related changes:

• The 'visualisation' python module replaces the 'glucifer' python module (as per UW 2.9) To update in your model, replace the line import glucifer with from UWGeodynamics import visualisation as vis 'vis' can be used as 'glucifer' was.

• Compatible with UW 2.9

• New Numpy Pressure Smoother

Enhancements:

• Upgrade to Dockerfile configuration, using "muli-stage" builds.

Bug Fixes:

• Passive tracer initialisation in 3D.
• Restarting with track fields and swarm global indices.
• Passive tracer interface changes. vertices must be passed as a numpy array
