ReleaseComing  
Trunknow open  
Installation instructionsgcc 4.8-6 is needed  
Docker

No news, no h.shi-1 only Linux version is tested, need to compile all the settings before move to other systems.

Hao needs to talk to Han this week on the docker before he leaves.

Hao added the MercuryDPM-Trunk docker image for both Ubuntu and Mac. The windows version will be tested later on.

  
Courses

Hao has a UT student interested in a course, Ant as well.

Lets do Courses in October or November:

C++ for Developers (Steve, Juan, Hong, Juan, Mitchel, Hao)

MercuryDPM for Developers (Julius)

  
Mitchel

1-way coupled code is approx 4000 faster but does not work for non-refinables elements as it needs the extra data

Hao did the test on 4000 particles with new code, the Oomph-part is indeed much faster than the older version, this reduces the total simulation time by approx. 20%.

However, it seems somewhere else is getting heavier and the new run compare to the old run is actually longer. Hao checked with Mitchel on both old and new implementations

and found out the time cost difference on the locate_zeta function in pressure gradient. Think of updating coupling force not every Mercury Timestep to reduce the run time.

  
Urgent issues

Stopping test would be nice

Pressure-control still doesn't work

Group wall

Shearstress ...

  
Todo

Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

  
Jinja or Jinja2Do we want to add a python interface to MercuryDPM in the future?
