| 1 | == !PyLith Development Plans, Mar 2015 == | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | ||||
| 3 | Priorities for !PyLith software development, such as new features and enhancements. This a draft for community comment (Mar 6, 2015). | |||
| 4 | ||||
| 5 | This plan attempts to balance meeting short-term objectives of delivering high priority, new features and meeting long-term objectives of extending the code to solve a broader range of scientific problems. | |||
| 6 | ||||
| 7 | Current development has slowed because Brad Aagaard (who is not funded by CIG) is unable to devote much time to !PyLith development as a result of a substantial increase of other obligations. | |||
| 8 | ||||
| 9 | === Version 2.2 (Jun 2015) === | |||
| 10 | ||||
| 11 | # Improve fault formulation for spontaneous rupture [[Image(intermediate.png, 25px)]] 10% | |||
| 12 | * Removes inner solve associated with updating Lagrange multipliers. This will significantly accelerate the nonlinear solve. | |||
| 13 | # Add viscoelastic Drucker-Prager bulk rheology | |||
| 14 | ||||
| 15 | === Version 2.3 (late 2015) === | |||
| 16 | ||||
| 17 | # Higher order basis functions [[Image(expert.png, 40px)]] 0% | |||
| 18 | * Allow user to select order of basis functions independent of the mesh (which defines the geometry). This permits higher resolution for a given mesh. | |||
| 19 | # Reorganize top-level code to conform to layout needed for multiphysics [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] 0% | |||
| 20 | * Setup modular approach for specifying governing equations and computing residuals and Jacobians. | |||
| 21 | # Reorganize top-level code to allow different startup cases [[Image(intermediate.png, 25px)]] 0% | |||
| 22 | * Elastic prestep | |||
| 23 | * User-specified initial solution | |||
| 24 | * Checkpoint via special spatial database? | |||
| 25 | # Multilevel nonlinear solve | |||
| 26 | # Radial basis functions for spatial databases [[Image(intermediate.png, 25px)]] 0% | |||
| 27 | ||||
| 28 | === Version 3.0 (Spring 2016) === | |||
| 29 | ||||
| 30 | # Multiphysics | |||
| 31 | * Incompressible elasticity via a pressure field [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 32 | * Elasticity + heat flow [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 33 | * Elasticity + fluid flow [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 34 | # GUI interface for specifying parameters | |||
| 35 | # Switch to using PETSc time-stepping (TS) algorithms. [[Image(intermediate.png, 25px)]] 0% | |||
| 36 | * Replace simple Python-based time-stepping implementations with PETSc time-stepping algorithms that provide support for higher order discretization in time and real adaptive time stepping. | |||
| 37 | # Begin implementation of data assimilation capabilities via adjoint equation. | |||
| 38 | ||||
| 39 | === Version 3.1 (Fall 2016) === | |||
| 40 | ||||
| 41 | # Earthquake cycle modeling [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 42 | * Same mesh for dynamic and quasi-static parts (dynamic -> quasi-static, quasi-static -> dynamic, complete cycle) | |||
| 43 | # Create strain hardening/softening 2-D and 3-D Drucker-Prager elastoplastic models. [[Image(intermediate.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 44 | # Moment tensor point sources via equivalent body forces [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] 5% | |||
| 45 | * Moment tensor point sources provide a mesh independent deformation source that is better suited for Green's function calculations than slip on a fault surface via cohesive cells. | |||
| 46 | ||||
| 47 | === Features for Future Releases === | |||
| 48 | ||||
| 49 | ==== Major features ==== | |||
| 50 | # Earthquake Cycle Modeling | |||
| 51 | * Different meshes for dynamic and quasi-static parts [[Image(expert.png, 40px)]] | |||
| 52 | * Requires interpolation of fields between different meshes/discretizations and may require extrapolation of solutions when quasi-static problems span a larger domain than the dynamic problems. | |||
| 53 | # Data assimilation | |||
| 54 | * Use flexibility of multiphysics implementation to support inclusion of data assimilation [[Image(expert.png, 40px)]] | |||
| 55 | ||||
| 56 | ====Minor features ==== | |||
| 57 | # Use KD tree search algorithm to allow output of time histories at an arbitrary location [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 58 | # Combined prescribed slip / spontaneous rupture fault condition [[Image(difficult.png, 25px)]] | |||
| 59 | * Use fault constitutive model to control slip on fault except during episodes of prescribed slip. Need some way to describe when to turn on/off prescribed slip. | |||
