New simulation features:

  • Actual dynamic AMR based on simulation run-time metrics
  • Time-varying inflow conditions for variable solar wind
  • Various bugfixes and upgrades to the inner and outer boundary behaviours
  • Run-time magnetic fieldline tracing for improved post-processing (such as
    identification of magnetic topology)
  • New datareducers such as non-maxwellianity and heat flux

Better user experience:

  • New Makefile format with less spammy output
  • Significant reduction of compiler warnings
  • library build script (build_libraries.sh) included to build all dependencies
  • Improved logfile output

Developer notes:

  • Development now has a full continuous integration (CI) pipeline
  • Header-only library dependencies are handled as git submodules
  • Simulation domain decomposition of the fieldsolver grid has had bugfixes and improvements
  • Multi-sampled velocity space sampling (nSpaceSamples and nVelocitySamples) has been removed
  • Better handling of NaN conditions, using isNaN and isInfinite testing
  • New phiprof timer object format thats hould lead to fewer unclosed timer groups
