version 22.10
Changes since release 22.04
The following lists shortly describe the main differences between release 22.10 and the release 21.04.
Bugfixes:
- total domain boundaries have not been written to restart file in case of
cyclic_fill
mode - missing initialization of turbulent inflow boundaries during restarts
- wrong calculation of latent heat flux at roofs
- wrong calculation of momentum flux at downward facing surfaces
- problem with SALSA in case of mesoscale nesting
- wrong dynamic pressure output for ocean mode
- missing division by density for various flux output profiles
- wrong extreme heat sinks during night above metal surfaces
- bug in optimized MG solver in case of an-elastic approximation
- leading empty time levels in output files of restart runs have been removed
- bug in reading surface data in restart runs
New features:
- optional interpolation to grid center for all 2d/3d output
- new method for generating a turbulent inflow using time dependent cross section data from a precursor run as inflow boundary condition (
turbulent_inflow_method
= 'read_from_file'), new scriptpalm_cti
(create turbulent inflow) to generate a dynamic driver file from the precursor data - offline nesting with synthetic turbulence generator for neutral cases
- cloud ice considered in radiation model
- radiation and biometeorological quantities added to virtual measurement output
- topography is allowed to be used in precursor runs
- Ambrosia plant added to pollen model
Improvements:
- localized raytracing in RTM
- extended topography filtering
- optimized 3D-NetCDF output by transposing 3d-arrays to get first dimension 0:nx, in order to allow output of larger contiguous data chunks
- improved divergence correction for Wicker-Skamarock advection scheme
- several additional checks for static driver data
- new namelist runtime parameters
section_xy_m
,section_xz_m
, andsection_yz_m
to give cross section position in m
Changes:
- new namelist
&turbulent_inflow_parameters
for all parameters releated to turbulent inflow methods - namelist parameter
complex_terrain
has been renamedterrain_following_mapping
- default I/O method for restart data has been changed from 'fortran_binary' to 'mpi_shared_memory'
-
initializing_actions
= 'inifor' is deprecated, 'read_from_file' should be used instead - output of sky view factors has been changed from 3D to surface data
- effects of nacelle on the flow has been re-activated for the wind turbine module
- timeseries of Lagrangian particle quantities and statistical Lagrangian particle quantities have been merged to one output file (local filename
DATA_1D_PTS_NETCDF
, file suffix_pts
)
Removed:
- output of lat/lon and UTM coordinates to NetCDF data files
- wall_salinity_flux (ocean mode)
