LAM version of DYNAMICO

Roadmap

• RSW : read/write Cartesian mesh (DONE)
• Ullrich (2015) : hyperviscosity, relaxation towards analytic field + XIOS/MPI
• agregation of convection : LMZ-physics, transport scheme
• CORDEX-like run : map projection, relaxation toward data read from file

Status on Oct 2 2018

Things that work

• in Python/test, py/write_Cartesian_mesh.py creates a Cartesian mesh file which can be read by py/RSW_2D_mesh.py

Issues

• py/RSW_2D_mesh.py does not work with mixed precision
• switching between mixed precision to double precision requires edits to 3 files
• mesh parameters are hard-written in write_Cartesian_mesh.py

Next Goals

• run the Ullrich (2015) baroclinic test case in a channel
• implement XIOS output with MPI

short-term TODO List

Jisesh

• use Python module argparse to let write_Cartesian_mesh.py read mesh parameters from command line
• use bubble_NH_3D as a template to start implementing Ullrich (2015)

Thomas

• fix build process for mixed precision
• fix Python bugs with mixzed precision
• look into informing XIOS about Cartesian mesh

points to address later

• check test cases with MPI
• hyperviscosity
• relax towards data read from files
• LMDZ physics
• map projections
• ( transport scheme )
• automated tests for unstructured/LAM code
