AMReX-based structured wind solver
Integrating the library "Waves2AMR" as a submodule. This enables AMR-Wind to read modes files generated by HOS-Ocean and put the corresponding ocean waves into the fluid domain as the simulation evolves. This submodule requires the fftw library as a dependency. By default, the Waves2AMR capabilities are not compiled, but the submodule is still present. Before turning on these capabilities, ensure that the submodule has been initialized and updated. The fftw dependency is automatically recognized by Spack when using the variant "+waves2amr", which also serves to activate the Waves2AMR features.
Other helpful improvements since v2.0.0:
Updating interface to be compatible with OpenFAST 3.5.* . This breaks compatibility with OpenFAST 3.4.*
Time-varying relationship enabled for ABLForcing + BodyForce in subsequent simulations (GeostrophicForcing also improved). Density argument now required for openfast turbine types. Native sampling output is now Paraview-compatible.
Bug fixes for AMD turbulence model and Stokes Waves. Nonlinear subgrid-scale model also included, named Kosovic.
New radar and spinner lidar capability (which modifies input arguments), hurricane forcing, bug fix for Donelan heat flux calculation, and additions to mesoscale forcing
Unit tests repaired so that they run on GPUs, improvements for reg tests on GPUs, and bug fix for initial sampled velocities with OpenFAST ALM.
Enables multilevel inflow/outflow BC with native format and also enables refinement ratios other than 2.
Features volume sampling capability, first ABL + waves implementation, and anelastic setup
Patches bug that prevented running ABLStats when tke variable was not present, e.g., when Smagorinsky is the turbulence model
This version features a significant update to the ALM methodology, placing the forces from the actuator points at locations corresponding to time n+1/2. This also reverts to sampling cell-centered velocities, which means that ADM methods using OpenFAST (which feature no actuator point motion) are modified to their original formulation.
