|---|
| 9 | code |
|---|
| 10 | extensions<br> |
|---|
| 11 | </h3><p style="line-height: 100%;">Programming |
|---|
| 12 | user-defined code |
|---|
| 13 | extensions usually requires exact knowledge of the internal structure |
|---|
| 14 | of PALM. |
|---|
| 15 | Appropriate explanations in <a href="chapter_2.0.html">chapter |
|---|
| 16 | 2.0</a> and the technical documentation are usually not |
|---|
| 17 | sufficient |
|---|
| 18 | and must be supplemented by a rigorous study of the model's source code. Programming experiences with FORTRAN95 and if necessary |
|---|
| 19 | experiences with the parallelization tool MPI are absolutely |
|---|
| 20 | necessary! </p> |
|---|
| 21 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Changes of the standard |
|---|
| 22 | model code by the |
|---|
| 23 | user |
|---|
| 24 | should be avoided whenever possible and are reserved to the |
|---|
| 25 | developer-group of PALM. The corrections, revisions and extensions of |
|---|
| 26 | the |
|---|
| 27 | model accomplished by this group are published in the |
|---|
| 28 | <a href="../tec/index.html">technical/numerical |
|---|
| 29 | documentation</a> and the accordingly updated source files are |
|---|
| 30 | accessible to the users (see <a href="chapter_5.1.html">chapter |
|---|
| 31 | 5.1</a>).</p> |
|---|
| 32 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">However, the user frequently |
|---|
| 33 | may feel the |
|---|
| 34 | need to make extensions of the model code for his/her own simulations. |
|---|
| 35 | For this purpose, a set |
|---|
| 36 | of interfaces is available, which can be used to add user-defined code |
|---|
| 37 | to the model. This |
|---|
| 38 | chapter describes the programming of such user-defined code extensions.</p><p style="line-height: 100%;">The integration of user-defined |
|---|
| 39 | code |
|---|
| 40 | occurs in the form of subroutine calls, which are made at a set of |
|---|
| 41 | places in the model code, by default. These subroutines have |
|---|
| 42 | pre-defined names, which must not be changed by the user. Their basic |
|---|
| 43 | versions are a component of the standard model |
|---|
| 44 | code and can be found in the source code files |
|---|
| 45 | <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_***.f90</font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">.</font> |
|---|
| 46 | <font color="#000000">The</font> basic versions |
|---|
| 47 | accomplish nearly no |
|---|
| 48 | actions, thus they are pure templates, which can be extended by the |
|---|
| 49 | user as required. Actions which are already accomplished in these |
|---|
| 50 | basic versions by default should not be changed. Here is an example |
|---|
| 51 | of such a basic version (file <span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">user_init.f90</span>): </p> |
|---|
| 52 | <p style="line-height: 100%;"> </p> |

|---|
| 54 | variables) |
|---|
| 55 | with the model occurs via the |
|---|
| 56 | global variables, which are defined within the individual FORTRAN - |
|---|
| 57 | modules of PALM. The appropriate modules (they are all in the |
|---|
| 58 | source code file <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">modules.f90</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 59 | must be declared by means of <font size="2"><font face="Cumberland, monospace">USE</font></font> |
|---|
| 60 | statements in the |
|---|
| 61 | user-defined routines in order to be able to work with the variables |
|---|
| 62 | contained in them. As in the example, this is already done with the |
|---|
| 63 | module <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">control_parameters</font></tt>. |
|---|
| 64 | This yields access to most of the existing parameters for steering the |
|---|
| 65 | model. Furthermore, the module <tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">user</font></tt> |
|---|
| 66 | appears in the example |
|---|
| 67 | above. This is a |
|---|
| 68 | user-defined module (it can be found in file <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_module.f90</font></tt>) |
|---|
| 69 | and can be used for communication between the user-defined routines. In |
|---|
| 70 | this module own variables can be declared as desired. It |
|---|
| 71 | is not used (and should not be used!) outside of the user code. </p> |
|---|
| 72 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">A very typical request of |
|---|
| 73 | users is the |
|---|
| 74 | calculation and output of |
|---|
| 75 | quantities which are not part of PALM's standard output. Several |
|---|
| 76 | routines in the basic user interface are already designed and prepared |
|---|
| 77 | for calculating and output of such quantities (see <a href="chapter_3.5.4.html">3.5.4</a>).</p><p style="line-height: 100%;">As already mentioned, the |
|---|
| 78 | contents of |
|---|
| 79 | the files <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_***.f90</font></tt> |
|---|
| 80 | can be used as a basis for extensions. However these files should not be |
|---|
| 81 | manipulated directly. Instead, a copy should be used. |
|---|
| 82 | </p> |
|---|
| 83 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The following sections |
|---|
| 84 | describe, which |
|---|
| 85 | interfaces for user-defined code exist in the |
|---|
| 86 | model, how user parameters can be defined for steering this code |
|---|
| 87 | and how it is translated and linked to the model. </p> |
