06/07/98 | SR | 1.0 | C | Änderung von Default-Werten (initializing_actions, end_time, fcl_factor, use_prior_plot1d_parameters), zusätzliche Überprüfung von Parametern auf Zulässigkeit (prandtl_layer, psolver, nx, ny, nz, fcl_factor), Höhe der Schnittebenen der Horizontalschnitte wird auf Plots exakt ausgegeben (uv- bzw. w-Gitter). | modules, check_parameters, plot_2d | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | N | Neues Modul test_variables wird in (fast) allen Programmteilen benutzt (USE). Wichtig: dieses Modul steht in der Datei module_test.f90. Diese Datei muß in der mrun- und add_library - Konfigurationsdatei bei der Variablen module_files aufgeführt werden. | (fast)
alle Neu: module_test | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16/07/98 | SR | 1.0 | N | Anpassung an die T3E-Rechner in Juelich (cpp - Direktiven) | advec_s_bc, check_open, check_parameters, cpu_zeitmessung, init_pegrid, local_getenv, local_system, local_tremain, local_tremain_ini, poisfft | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24/07/98 | MS | 1.0 | C | Anpassung des Druckloesealgorithmusses an Vorgehensweise von Schmidt, Schumann und Volkert (DFVLR-Mitteilung 84-15, S. 20-26) | poisfft | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27/07/98 | MS | 1.0 | C | Berechnung von l in maketri geschieht nun ausserhalb der k-Schleife, da unabhaengig von k, dadurch Rechenzeitersparnis | poisfft | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
05/08/98 | SR | 1.0 | C | Entfernung der Sonderbehandlung der Advektionsterme (Piascek-Williams) bei k=1. Terme werden nun überall gleich berechnet. Evtl. leichte Erhöhung der Varianzen in Oberflächennähe. | advec_u_pw, advec_v_pw, advec_w_pw | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | C | Mischungsweganpassung (s. adjust_mixing_length) erfolgt nur noch bei k=1. Unrealistische sekundäre Maxima in den Km-Profilen oberhalb der Prandtl-Schicht werden damit vermieden. Leichte Änderungen in den oberflächennahen Turbulenzgrößen sind die Folge. | diffusivities | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | B | Falsche
Berechnung der benötigten CPU-Zeit pro Sekunde
simulierter
Zeit bei Fortsetzungsläufen korrigiert. Berechnung von cross_uxmin(1) und cross_uxmax(1) aus den Werten von ug und vg entfernt. Lieferte falsche Wertebereiche für Plots von Vertikalprofilen, wenn im ersten Koordinatenkreuz nicht die Windgeschwindigkeiten gezeichnet wurden. | header, check_parameters | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | N | Das erlaubte Maximum und Minimum der Rif-Zahl ist nun mittels der Initialparameter rif_max und rif_min einstellbar (Werte waren bisher fest auf -2.0, +1.0 eingestellt). | check_parameters, header, init_1d_model, modules, parin, prandtl_fluxes, read_var_list, write_var_list | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23/09/98 | SR | 1.0 | B | Initialisierung von Feldern im Fall von initializing_action =
"set_constant_profiles"
und "set_1d-model_profiles" korrigiert. 2D-Plotausgabe von u* und theta* korrigiert. Hier wurden bisher falsche Felder herausgeschrieben. Bei SOR-Aufrufen war bisher dp nicht initialisiert. Entsprechend geändert. | init_3d_model, plot_2d, pres | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | C | Ausgabeformate
für Statistik-Ausgaben auf
Datei RUN_CONTROL
um einige Kommastellen erweitert. Lieferung von ausführlicheren Informationen bei Programmabbruch durch Unterschreitung des minimal erlaubten Zeitschritts. |
run_control, timestep | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | N | Rechnungen mit geneigter Ebene zur Simulation von
Kaltluftabflüssen
sind erlaubt. Gestartet und gesteuert werden sie mit dem
Intialisierungsparameter alpha_surface.
Realisiert wird die geneigte Ebene durch entsprechende
Schrägstellung
des Schwerkraftvektors. Dadurch erhält auch die u-Komponente
der
Windgeschwindigkeit
einen Anteil der Auftriebskraft. Diese Implementierung ist noch nicht abgeschlossen. Die Simulation von Kaltluftabflüssen erfordert bisher noch Eingriffe "von Hand". | buoyancy, check_parameters, header, leap_frog, modules, parin, prandtl_fluxes, read_var_list, write_var_list | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15/12/98 | SR | 1.0 | N | Vereinbarung
einer Cache-Layer zur schnelleren binären
I/O auf
T3E-Rechnern. Ermittelung wahrer I/O-Zeiten für binäre Ein-/Ausgabe auf T3E-Rechnern mit TIMEF. | check_open,
cpu_zeitmessung, init_3d_model, write_3d_model | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.0 | B | Bekanntgabe von run_description_header an alle
PE's. Diese Programmänderung erfordert auf T3E-Rechnern zwingend den Einsatz der MPI-Version mpt.1.2.0.1. In dieser neuen Version tritt auch der alte Fehler in MPI_ALLREDUCE nicht mehr auf, so daß ab jetzt mpt.1.1.0.1 nicht mehr verwendet werden muß. |
parles | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
05/02/99 | SR | 1.1 | C/N | Implementierung des Upstream-Spline- Verfahrens zur Advektion
von Impuls
und skalaren Größen (neue UP's, s. rechts).
Berechnung von
Variablen
für spezielle Advektionsverfahren in eigenständiges
UP
ausgelagert
(init_advec + eigenes Modul advection).
Reines
Euler-/Upstream-Verfahren
kann gerechnet werden. Schnelle binäre I/O (s. 15/12/98) wieder abgeschaltet, da Dateien nicht wieder einlesbar sind. Druckstörung (p) wird zu Beginn auf 0 gesetzt, damit sie keine Tendenzen im ersten Zeitschritt hervorruft. | advec_s_bc, check_open, check_parameters,

24/02/99 | SR | 1.1a | C/N | Kleinere Ergänzungen / Änderungen
für Upstream
- Spline, Diverse Verbesserungen bei Berechnung der Diffusionskoeffizienten (exaktere Formulierung von Scherungen, Dissipation gemaess Original - Deardorff - Ansatz, Mischungswegreduktion nur, wenn Schichtung sowohl oberhalb als auch unterhalb des entsprechenden Gitterpunktes stabil ist), Wertebegrenzung bei Spline - Berechnung zur Verhinderung von "Überschwingern" |

parin, plot_3d Neu: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
03/03/99 | SR | 1.1c | B/C | Schnelle binäre I/O auf T3E-Rechnern funktioniert jetzt. Beim binären Einlesen dürfen Records nicht mit dem Trick "READ (..) idum" überlesen werden. Zeitmessungen auf T3E erfolgen jetzt grundsätzlich mit TIMEF. | check_open, cpu_zeitmessung, init_3d_model, modules, write_3d_binary | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25/03/99 | SR | 1.1d | N | Einbau einer Rayleigh-Dämpfungsschicht sowie flexiblere Wahl der numerischen Begrenzer für das Upstream - Spline - Verfahren. | check_parameters, header, init_3d_model, leap_frog, modules, parin, read_var_list, spline_x, spline_y, spline_z, write_var_list | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.1d | B | Korrektur des Zeitschrittkriteriums bei z=zp im 1D-Modell | init_1d_model | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25/11/99 | SR | 1.1e | N | Partikelplots mit vtk-Graphiksoftware sind auf t3eh möglich. Ausgabe erfolgt im dvr-Format. Bisher noch nicht nutzbar, da noch Einstellmöglichkeiten für die Partikelquelle(n) fehlen. Wichtig: Die Benutzung der vtk-Software erfordert die zusätzliche mrun-Option -g. Das Hauptprogramm parles wird in diesem Fall zum Unterprogramm und von einem c++-Programm aus aufgerufen. | header,
init_3d_model, init_pegrid, leap_frog, modules,
parin, parles,
read_var_list, write_var_list Neu:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
" | SR | 1.1e | B/C | TIMEF-Zeitmessungen von Subroutine- auf Function-Aufruf umgestellt. Laufindexkorrektur in spline_y. Fehler trat bei nx /= ny auf. | cpu_zeitmessung, spline_y | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
28/12/99 | SR | 1.1f | N | Plot von Isooberflächen mit vtk-Graphiksoftware sind auf t3eh möglich. Ausgabe erfolgt im dvr-Format. Bisher noch nicht allgemein nutzbar, da noch diverse manuelle Eingriffe nötig sind. | header, leap_frog, modules, parin, plot_particles,
read_var_list, write_var_list Neu:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10/01/00 | SR | 1.2 | C | Randbedingungen für w (=0) werden explizit gesetzt,
und
zwar nicht
nur bei k = nzb, nzt+1 sondern auch
bei k =
nzt,
wo bislang der vom vorigen Zeitschritt durch den Drucklöser
ermittelte
Wert stand. Auch jetzt wird der Wert bei k = nzt anschließend
durch
den Drucklöser modifiziert. Soweit bis jetzt abzusehen, hat
diese
Änderung nur minimale Auswirkungen auf den Prognoseverlauf.
Evtl.
gibt es stärkere Auswirkungen bei exzessivem Auftreten von
Schwerewellen
am oberen Rand (die dort aber eigentlich sowieso nicht
hingehören). Variablenübergabe an boundary_conds erfolgt über Modul und nicht mehr per Parameterliste. Bei Galilei-Transformation wird jetzt defaultmäßig der geostrophische Wind als Translationsgeschwindigkeit verwendet (neuer Initialisierungsparameter use_ug_for_galilei_tr). Dadurch wird das verstärkte Auftreten von Schwerewellen bei höheren geostrophischen Windgeschwindigkeiten unterdrückt. 3D-Feldvariablen (u, v, w, pt, e, km, kh) sowie einige
2D-Variablen
(usws, vsws, rif, shf) sind nun als Pointer deklariert, denen nach
jedem
Zeitschritt neue Targets zugeordnet werden (für die
benötigten
3 Zeitebenen existieren die Targets ..._1 (z.B. u_1), ..._2, ..._3).
Durch
die jeweilige Neuzuordnung der Targets entfällt das
Umspeichern
der
Zeitebenen komplett (Zeitersparung: ca. 5% der
Gesamtrechenzeit). Neue Laderoption "-D preset=nan" empfohlen (s. Beispiel-Konfigurationsdatei). Ebenso empfehlenswert für Debug-Läufe: Compileroption "-ei". Diese bewirkt einen Programmabbruch, falls mit nicht initialisierten Variablen gearbeitet wird (ist aber zeitaufwendig in der Ausführung!). | boundary_conds, check_parameters, header,

10/01/00 | SR | 1.2 | B | Der Asselin-Filter wird vor Umordnung der Zeitebenen
aufgerufen. Dies
geschah bisher fälschlicherweise erst danach, sodass der
Zeitfilter
asymmetrisch arbeitete. Achtung: diese Änderung hat Auswirkungen auf den Prognoseverlauf. Die Testergebnis-Datei wurde entsprechend geändert. |
leap_frog | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14/02/00 | MS | 1.2 | B/C | 1D-Modell:
Der Asselin-Filter im 1D-Modell wird nun auch vor der Umordnung der Zeitebenen aufgerufen (s.o.). 3D-Modell:
Die Divergenz der Impulsflüsse an der Prandtl - Schicht - Obergrenze wird nun über eine ganze Gitterweite gebildet. Die bisherige Methode lieferte im Vergleich mit Ergebnissen anderer LES-Modelle zu große Impulsflüsse. Bei der Berechnung der Diffusion der Temperatur werden die Diffusionskoeffizienten nun wieder durch Mittelung für die entsprechenden Gitterpunkte bereitgestllt. Das Maximumkriterium, das im Zuge der Implementierung des Upstream-Spline Advektionsverfahrens eingebaut wurde, bewirkte ein zu rasches Anwachsen der Grenzschicht mit der Zeit. Achtung: diese Änderungen haben Auswirkungen auf den Prognoseverlauf. Die Testergebnis-Datei wurde entsprechend geändert. |

vollständige Implementierung des wolkenphysikalischen Moduls Zur Implementierung der Wolkenphysik waren
umfangreiche
Änderungen
in zahlreichen Programmteilen notwendig (Beschreibung siehe
unten ). Im einzelnen wurden folgende Unprogramme
geändert: Zusätzlich
wurden folgende Unterprogramme NEU
eingeführt: Liste der neuen

18/02/00 | MS | 2.0 | B/N | Im Zuge der
Umstellung auf Modellversion 2.0 wurden
noch kleine
Änderungen an den Unterprogrammen diffusion_e, production_e
und
diffusivities
vorgenommen. In allen genannten Unterprogrammen wurde bisher ein strengeres Kriterium zur Bestimmung der Schichtungsverhältnisse verwendet. Ein Modellvergleich zeigte jedoch, dass dadurch die Diffusion im Bereich der Inversion zu gross wird. Eine weitere Ergänzung betrifft die
Advektionsverfahren: Achtung: diese Änderungen haben Auswirkungen auf den Prognoseverlauf. Die Testergebnis-Datei wurde entsprechend geändert. |

26/04/00 | SR | 2.0a | C | Vollständige Umstellung von vtk-Grafik-Software auf dvrp-Software. Grafik-Ausgaben im dvr-Format sind mittlerweile begrenzt nutzbar (Isooberflächen sind darstellbar, siehe neue Laufparameter dt_dvrp, threshold), es wird aber in der Anwendung in naher Zukunft noch diverse Änderungen geben. Partikelausgabe vorerst nicht mehr möglich (Verlagerung schon). | header, init_particles, init_3d_model,

26/04/00 | SR | 2.0a | C | Durch zusätzlichen zyklischen Rand im
Bott-Chlond-Schema
sehr
viele SENDRECV-Aufrufe eingespart. Änderung des Namens einer eingelesenen Environment-Variablen in check_open von remote_addres nach return_addres. Prozessor-Topologie kann durch Benutzer vorgegeben werden. Dazu neue Initialisierungsparameter npex und npey. Durch Änderungen am Header-Format wurde Testergebnis-Datei geändert. |

26/04/00 | SR | 2.0a | N | Rechnungen mit geneigter Oberfläche erlauben jetzt die Vorgabe eines stabil geschichteten Temperaturprofils mit konstantem Gradienten. Hinzuschalten von Feuchte funktioniert für Hangrechnungen noch nicht. | advec_s_bc, buoyancy, init_3d_model,

13/06/00 | MS | 2.0a | B | Es werden nun auch die seitlichen Ränder für ql gesetzt. Ein Nichtsetzen der Randbedingungen führte zu Fehlern bei der Ausgabe von pt | calc_liquid_water_content | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
03/07/00 | SR | 2.0b | C | Für eine Reihe von
Unterprogrammen, die innerhalb
von prognostic_equation
aufgerufen werden und an die Pointer-Variablen übergeben
werden,
sind
jetzt explizite Interfaces vereinbart (neues Modul pointer_interfaces).
Auch im Vereinbarungsteil der entsprechenden Unterprogramme sind diese
Übergabeparameter jetzt aus Konsistenzgründen (und
weil es
sonst
Laufzeitfehler gibt) als Pointer-Variablen deklariert. Mit dieser
Änderung
ist der große Speicher- und CPU-Zeit-Bedarf beim
Übersetzen
von prognostic_equations wieder auf ein erträgliches
Maß
reduziert. Im Rahmen dieser Änderungen wurde auch an diffusion_e ein Hilfsfeld weniger übergeben. Aus nicht vollständig gekärten Gründen haben sich die Zahlen in der Testergebnis-Datei minimal geändert (und zwar die Spalte mit der Gesamtdivergenz nach Aufruf des Drucklösers). |

04/07/00 | SR | 2.0b | B | Diriclet-Randbedingungen für Temperatur und Flüssigwassergehalt werden gesetzt. Dies wäre bereits nach Einführung der Pointer zwingend notwendig gewesen. Rechnungen mit vorgegebener Oberflächentemperatur schlugen deshalb bislang fehl. | boundary_conds | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
07/09/00 | MS | 2.0b | B | Die virtuelle potenielle Temperatur wird nun auch für k=nzb und k=nzt+1 berechnet, um die Randwerte auch für Ausgabezwecke bereichtzustellen. | compute_vpt | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
28/12/00 | SR | 2.1 | C/N | PALM erlaubt jetzt den Einsatz
optionaler Software-Pakete,
die zwar
zum Modell gehören, standardmäßig aber
nicht mit
übersetzt
werden, um so unter anderem Kompilationszeit einzusparen. Siehe neues
Kapitel
3.7 in der Modelldokumentation. Einsatz der dvrp-Software wurde vollständig überarbeitet. Sie ist nun als Software-Paket optional im Modell einsetzbar. Siehe überarbeitetes Kapitel 4.5.6 in der Modelldokumentation. Die Prognose der Partikelverlagerung ist ebenfalls in ein optionales Software-Paket ausgelagert. | advec_particles,

kann jetzt die Singleton-FFT benutzen. Modul singleton
wurde deshalb von calc_spectra.f90 nach modules.f90
geschoben
(neuer Initialisierungsparameter fft_method).
Flüsse können jetzt bei k=1 unabhängig von der Verwendung einer Prandtl-Schicht vorgegeben werden (neuer Initialisierungsparameter use_surface_fluxes). Modul test_variables wurde aus allen Programmteilen entfernt. Hauptprogramm wurde von parles nach palm umbenannt. Modell kann auf DEC-Workstations eingesetzt werden (-D dec). Zusätzliche Zeitmessungen mit dvrp-Software. Schreiben von Partikel-Informationen ist optional (neuer Parameter write_particle_informations). |

fehlte in disturb_field. Wertebereich von theta* in Prandtl-Fluxes eingeschränkt, weil sonst auf einigen Rechnern overflow droht, wenn u*=0. | check_open, disturb_field, prandtl_fluxes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30/01/01 | SR | 2.1d | N/C | Prognose

Falls kein Pfad für ftpcopy existiert, werden in check_open die Dateinamen für AVS-Koordinaten- und Datendatei auf "unknown" gesetzt. | asselin_filter, boundary_conds, check_open, check_parameters, flow_statistics, header, init_1d_model, init_3d_model, modules, parin, plot_2d, plot_dvrp, prandtl_fluxes, prognostic_equations, read_var_list, swap_timelevel, write_3d_binary, write_var_list | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30/01/01 | SR | 2.1d | B | String-Ausgabe für use_surface_fluxes korrigiert.
Version vom
25/01/01 brach deswegen bei Fortsetzungsläufen ab. xy-Plotausgabe von q und ql korrigiert. | plot_2d, write_var_list | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30/03/01 | SR | 2.2 | N/C | Sämtliche 3D-Felder der Zeitebene t+dt wurden
entfernt.
Ebenso
die Arbeitsfelder work und work1. Hilfsfelder wurden soweit
möglich
eingespart und werden grundsätzlich lokal allokiert. Dadurch
konnten
eine Reihe von Übergabeparametern gestrichen werden (z.B. beim
Aufruf
von pres, advec_s_bc, poisfft, production_e, sor sowie
den
Spline-Unterprogrammen).
Der Long-Filter wurde in das Upstream-Spline-Verfahren integriert. Da
der
Zeitfilter jetzt direkt in der prognostischen Gleichung angewendet wird
(bisher geschah dies erst nach Aufruf des Drucklösers), haben
sich
die Zahlen in der Testergebnis-Datei geändert. Die mittleren
Profile
sind aber unbeeinflusst. Eine weitere kleinere Änderung der Testergebnis-Daten wird dadurch verursacht, dass jetzt der Parameter adjust_mixing_length defaultmäßig .FALSE. ist und der Mischungsweg grundsätzlich zusätzlich auf 0.7 * zu begrenzt wird. Falls adjust_mixing_length=T, wird jetzt der Mischungsweg in diffusivities analog zu diffusion_e an allen Gitterpunkten modifiziert. Achtung: Diese Änderungen können bei anderen Simulationen t.w. erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die oberflächennahen Ergebnisse haben. Kleinere
Änderungen: In init_cloud_physics
wird
der Wert der Variablen surface_pressure in hPa
belassen
(bisher
Umwandlung in Pa). Restliche deutsche Variablen-, Unterprogramm- und Modulnamen wurden ins Englische übersetzt. Davon sind fast alle Programmteile betroffen (nicht in rechter Spalte aufgeführt). | advec_particles,

12/07/01 | SR | 2.2a | N/C | Defaultwert der unteren
Randbedingung für die TKE ist ab
sofort bc_e_b
= 'neumann'. Partikelquelle ist über Paketparameter steuerbar. Partikeleigenschaften sind mittels benutzereigener Software steuerbar. Der dvrp-Ausgabeweg ist jetzt ebenfalls über Paketparameter steuerbar. Allen Modulen (bis auf singleton) wurde eine SAVE-Anweisung hinzugefügt, damit die durch sie vereinbarten Variablen während der Rechnung in keinem Fall undefiniert werden können (diese Gefahr besteht z.B. auf SGI-Origin-Maschinen). | advec_particles, header, init_dvrp, init_particles, modules.f90, package_parin, plot_dvrp, user_interface | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

versehen werden. Die Ausgabe der dvrp-Plotdaten durch einen separaten
PE
ist möglich (mrun-Option "-p dvrp_graphics+1PE").
Der
Kommunikator MPI_COMM_WORLD
wurde deshalb durch comm_palm
ersetzt. Reduzierung des Mischungsweges im Wandbereich kann wahlweise abgeschaltet werden. Für km und kh wird jetzt eine Neumann-Randbedingung am unteren Rand verwendet. Die TKE-Energieproduktionsberechnung durch Scherung des Grundstroms am unteren Rand wurde verbessert. Generelle Verwendung der bodennahen vertikalen Impulsflüsse in den Diffusionstermen von u und v, immer wenn diese als Randbedingung vorgegeben sind (gemäß use_surface_fluxes, - bisher wurde dies nur bei eingeschalteter Prandtl-Schicht gemacht). Schubspannungen können jetzt als Randbedingungen vorgegeben werden (allerdings unter zuhilfenahme benutzereigener Software). Zusätzliche Schnittstellen für benutzereigene Software in allen Tendenztermen, in flow_statistics, und für Partikel- bzw. dvrp-Programmteile (Bestimmung von Partikeleigenschaften, Festlegung von Farbtabellen).

11/06/02 | SR | 2.4 | N/C | Optimierung und Anpassungen für einzelne Knoten der
IBM-Regatta-Systeme. Skalare (Cache) Optimierung: Tendenzterme werden innerhalb einer großen (i,j)-Schleife berechnet, die nun jeweils die gesamte prognostische Gleichung umfasst. Schleifenindices i und j werden an die Tendenzunterprogramme als Argumente übergeben. Die Tendenzunterprogramme sind als Module geschrieben, die mittels Technik der überladenen Funktionen auch ohne diese Indices i und j aufgerufen werden können, und dann wie in früheren Versionen funktionieren (d.h. in ihnen laufen die Schleifen über alle 3 Dimensionen). Solche Teile der prognostischen Gleichungen, die globale Kommunikation beinhalten, sind vor die (i,j)-Schleife gezogen. Falls ausschließlich mit Piascek-Williams-Advektion gearbeitet wird, werden alle prognostischen Gleichungen in einer einzigen (i,j)-Schleife gerechnet. Kommunikationsoptimierung: Zusätzliche Implementierung einer 1D-Gebietszerlegung in x-Richtung. Mit dem neuen direkten Drucklöser (poisfft_hybrid) werden dadurch 4 von 6 notwendigen Transpositionen eingespart. Die 1D-Zerlegung wird automatisch bei Verwendung dieses neuen Lösers aktiviert. Austausch von Geisterrändern in y-Richtung wird bei dieser 1D-Zerlegung durch einfache zyklische Randbedingungen ersetzt. Kleinere Anpassungen: String-Vergleiche
erfordern beim

in der Regel den Einsatz der TRIM-Funktion, um
überschüssige
Blanks am Ende des Strings abzuschneiden (sonst liefert der Vergleich

14 (BINOUT) must be opened using a special

id string, because on IBM, the PE rank differs between communicators
MPI_COMM_WORLD
and comm_2d. This leads to a mismatch between filename-PE-number and
PE-number
written on file. As the consequence, these files could not be read by
restart-jobs.
Reading of array hom moved from init_3d_model
to read_var_list
(binary version number incremented to 2.2). Further
optimization for IBM-Regatta-systems: Further cache optimization by using strides and joining loops (hybrid_solver, pres and timestep). Joining of MPI_ALLREDUCE calls in timestep. In case of 1d-decomposition along x only a part of the integral divisor conditions is checked, on IBM hosts a 1d-decomposition along x is the default, a switch from Poisson-FFT-solver to the hybrid-solver is made in case of 1d-decomposition along x, the hybrid-solver does not force a 1d-decomposition any more. Array notation changed to do-loop constructs due to better performance. Cyclic boundary conditions along y used instead of sendrecv in case of a 1d-decomposition along x. SENDRECV replaced by nonblocking routines ISEND and IRECV in exchange_horiz.f90. Speed optimization by removing MINVAL/MAXVAL calls and by

12/03/03 | SR | 2.6 | N | Version optimized for NEC-SX6
parallel-vector
machines. There are two main changes. A new vectorizable routine prognostic_equations_vec is added, where cache optimizations are undone. The tendency subroutines called by prognostic_equations_vec contain the full 3d-loops (compared with the cache-optimized versions where only loops over k are carried out). Additionally, a new pressure solver poisfft_hybrid_vec is added, which requires a 1d-domain-decomposition (like poisfft_hybrid). In this solver, a very fast FFT from Clive Temperton (ECMWF) is optionally available by choosing fft_method = 'temperton-algorithm'. Additional changes in flow_statistics to allow better vectorization. Small changes in routines diffusivities and pres which caused run time errors on IBM and NEC due to compiler problems. Reading of environment variable tasks_per_node moved from routine poisfft_hybrid to routine parin. Changes in makefile: modules and user_interface now depend on the f90 files, dependency of singleton added, LDFLAGS moved to the end of PROG rule, temperton_fft added. | advec_s_pw, advec_s_up, advec_u_pw, advec_u_up,

running on Linux Clusters using MPICH
and Intel
FORTRAN compiler (ifc) So far, only absolutely neccessary changes have been done (possible optimizations will follow in a later version): New time measurements for Linux (ifc) environment added. Some parameters in MPI calls had to be modified (arrays had to be replaced by the first element of the regarding array) in order to fulfill f90 type and rank requirements, since on the MUK-cluster a FORTRAN90-version of MPI is used. This also required to replace "mpif.h" by using a special module (named mpi). I did not find out how character strings can be send with MPI. Therefore, these strings are transformed to integers, before they are send, and transformed back to characters on the receiving PE. On the MUK-cluster, only PE0 is able to read the values of environment variables. Therefore, these values are communicated via broadcast to the other PEs. 1d-decomposition is set as the default on Linux Clusters. Character strings have to be transformed to integer Smaller changes: Batch_scp paths for IBM, NEC and Linux added | check_open, cpu_log, flow_statistics, init_pegrid, local_getenv, modules, palm, poisfft_hybrid | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

28/01/04 | SR | 2.8 | N | Runge-Kutta schemes (2nd and
3rd
order)
for time integration implemented. The third order scheme is the new
default.
It allows the timestep to be 0.9*CFL, which is much larger than for the
former default leapfrog scheme. The intermediate steps, which
are
part of these schemes, are realized by an additional loop within routine
time_integration (currently
leap_frog, but this routine will be renamed soon).
Steering
variables
at and
bt have
been replaced by array
sct.
, which is particularly used in the prognostic equations. Values of
this
steering array are calculated within the new routine
timestep_scheme_steering. When using Runge-Kutta schemes, the timestep increment is freely allowed to adjust after each timestep (the older schemes are using some restrictions, see routine timestep). Also, routine run_control is not automatically called in case of timestep changes, when Runge-Kutta schemes are switched on. The old leapfrog scheme is still implemented and should produce the same results as in the previous version(s)! Depending on the user experience, further adjustments to the Runge-Kutta schemes may be necessary within the next minor versions. Attention:

30/04/04 | SR | 2.8b | N |
The number of processors
along
the respective directions of the virtual processor grid must not be
integral divisors of the number of gridpoints along x, y or z any more.
In case that they are not integral divisors, the subdomains on the
processors at the upper borders of the virtual grid will contain less
gridpoints than the other subdomains (which are all of equal size).
Although this causes a load imbalance, only runs with very small
numbers of processors will feel a significant decrease of performance.
In order to be able to carry out the transpositions, array d (and also
working array tend)
have the same size on
all processors. This new feature is switched on by setting the
inipar-parameter
grid_matching = 'match',
which is the
default now. Routine poisfft is now the default for solving the Poisson-equation for the case of 2d- as well as 1d-domain-decompositions and has been changed from a subroutine to a module. This routine now includes most of the optimization from the (Ketelsen) routine poisfft_hybrid and additionally allows 1d-decompositions along y. ATTENTION: Routine poisfft_hybrid might still be faster when running PALM on more than one node of the IBM-Regatta, although the difference is not very big. The poisfft-code for a decomposition along y has still a poor performance and needs further optimization. The spectra-package is now able to use all the available FFT-methods (selected by inipar-parameter fft_method ). Performance of the transpositions needed for calculating the spectra has been improved by using new direct transpositions from z to y and from y to x instead of two subsequent transpositions. Runge-Kutta scheme implemented in the 1d-version (init_1d_model). Diffusion quantity arrays are allocated for previous timelevels only in case of leapfrog scheme. This version is adapted for use on COMPAQ-DECALPHA systems (main changes: calling of SHAPE function within subroutine arguments (e.g. singleton) causes compiler errors, particle data type modified for better alignment, DATA statements from modules removed because they caused internal compiler errors). | advec_s_ups, advec_u_ups,

N | Non-cyclic lateral boundary
conditions implemented. Dirichlet/Neumann conditions at the inflow/outflow can be used either along x or along y. Cyclic conditions have to be used along the remaining direction. In case of non-cyclic conditions along x (y), the upper bound nxl (nyn) of array u (v) is enlarged by one gridpoint on the rightmost (northest) processor. These array index informations are passed to routine exchange_horiz and disturb_field by two additional arguments. Boundary conditions are set with new inipar-parameters bc_lr and bc_ns. A damping layer is needed at the outflow in order to damp reflections (see new parameters km_damp_max and outflow_damping_width) and an additional disturbance is imposed near the inflow (see new parameters inflow_disturbance_begin and inflow_disturbance_end). Non-cyclic conditions require the use of the multigrid-method for solving the Poisson equation. Argument range added to routine boundary_conds (where the non-cyclic conditions are set). Minor changes: Output of parameter datform on &GLOBAL-Namelist (iso2d). This is set to 'big_endian' on IBM- and NEC-machines.

velocity (with inertia) corrected, exp_arg had a wrong sign. (e)**1.5 replaced by e*SQRT(e) in init_1d_model because of wrong results on NEC machines (as a side effect, the new calculation is much faster). Two errors concerning switch to PE0 (multigrid method) removed from init_pegrid. Two errors in plot_2d removed: local_2d is allocated with upper bound nzt (former nzt+1 was wrong), additional barrier in case that PE0 gathers data from the other PEs, this barrier had to be set at the end of the gathering because otherwise PE0 sometimes received wrong data on tag 0. Use of module indices removed from routine split_1dd in poisfft since it caused errors in case of nx /= ny and a 1D-decomposition along y. Wrong re-definition of dx2 and dy2 in sor removed. | advec_particles,

New cloud physics code
implemented, which explicitly simulates single cloud droplets,
including droplet growth by condensation and collision. Using this code
requires to set the new inipar-parameter cloud_droplets
= .TRUE. and to use the particle package (by using the mrun-option -p particles).
Coupling between droplets and the thermodynamic quantities (potential
temperature and specific humidity) is regarded in the new subroutine interaction_droplets_ptq.
The real number of droplets in a grid cell can steered by the new
inipar-parameter initial_weighting_factor. This code will be further extended and probably changed in the near future, so the current status is that of a test version! In connection with this new code implementation, several changes has been made to the existing code: The particle (droplet) size is now given as radius (previously diameter). E.g., the name of the respective package parameter diameter has changed to radius. The current weighting_factor and radius are stored as additional particle attributes in the type structure particle_type. The MPI data type mpi_particle_type, needed for exchanging particles between subdomains, has been changed correspondingly. gas_constant is renamed r_d, latent_heat is renamed r_v, the allowed string length of pl2d and pl3d is increased from 6 to 10. New 3d arrays ql_1, ql_2, ql_v and ql_vp, ql is now a pointer, new pointer ql_c. Data format for unit 85 (particle data output) is changed. | advec_particles.f90

23/02/06 | SR | 3.0 | N | Version for simulating flows over
topography (buildings, mountains, etc.) Besides the implementation of topography, this version contains several other improvements. The most important ones are listed here:
The topography code is already optimized (vectorized) for use on the NEC-SX6. Output of time-averaged 2d-/3d-data can be enabled by appending the string '_av' to the respective output quantities given with the new runtime-parameter data_output (see further below for the (name)changes in the parameters for data output). Example: if a time-average of the vertical cross-section of potential temperature is required, the user has to set data_output = 'pt_xy_av'. In case of NetCDF-output, the time-averaged data is output to additional files (seperate from the non-averaged output). The length of the averaging interval and the temporal distance of the single instantaneous sections (volumes) entering into this averaging is controlled by the new runtime-parameters averaging_intervaland dt_averaging_input. An average normal to the direction of a cross-section can be output by setting the respective cross section index to -1 (example: section_xz = -1). New user-interface routines allowing the output of user-defined quantities are user_check_data_output, user_define_netcdf_grid, user_data_output_2d, user_data_output_3d, and user_3d_data_averaging. These quantities can be calculated using the new CASE-Entry 'after integration' in the user-interface routine user_actions. Optimization of the cloud droplet code is mainly done by re-sorting all particles after every timestep in a way that now all particles which belong to the same grid-box (k,j,i) are stored consecutively (wthout any strides) in memory. Code adaptation for the IBM at the department of atmospheric sciences, Yonsei university (ibmy). Affected subroutines: fft_xy, netcdf, Further new features:

C | In
parallel mode, all PEs are opening the same copy of the
NAMELIST-parameter file PARIN,
i.e. from now on, the file attribute "npe" must be
removed from the corresponding file connection statements in the mrun configuration
file (.mrun.config). A large number of parameter names and local filenames have been changed (see list below). Most of them are parameters concerning data output (do). The former denotations "plot" and "pl" have been changed to "data_output" and "do", respectively. In addition to these changes, the names of many internal PALM parameters and variables have also changed. Restart runs now require setting of the initialization-parameter initializing_actions = 'read_restart_data'. Concerning particles, the parameters psl, psr, pdx, etc., which are controlling the position of the particle source and the number of particles within this source, are now 1d-arrays. This allows to define different particle sources for different particle groups. The number of particle groups has to be set by the user (no automatic calculation from the value of parameter density_ratio any more). Variable idum in type particle_type has been renamed tail_id. Output for units 15 and 17 flushed in init_1d_model. List of changed parameter names:

26/04/06 | SR | 3.0a | N | OpenMP parallelization for
the cache-optimized PALM code. OpenMP directives have been added where necessary. Still further tuning will be necessary to get optimum performance. Other parts of the code than the cache-optimized code still need to be (OpenMP-) parallelized. So far, threads are activated by setting the mrun-options -T <number_of_threads> and -O, i.e. when the Option -O is given, the -T argument is interpreted as the number of threads to be used. When -O is given, the number of MPI tasks per node is automatically set to 1. Beside the additional compiler directives, the main code change required by the OpenMP parallelization is that global sums are now calculated by first calculating local sums on each thread. As the next step, local sums are calculated from these thread sums for each MPI task before the global sum is computed via MPI_ALLREDUCE. For storing the thread sums, arrays sums_l and sums_l_l now have three dimensions where the number of elements of the third dimension is equal to the number of OpenMP threads. | buoyancy, cpu_statistics, diffusivities, flow_statistics, header, init_pegrid, init_3d_model, modules, prandtl_fluxes, pres, production_e | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

04/08/06 | SR | 3.1 | N | Subgrid
scale velocities can (optionally) be included for calculating the
particle advection, using the method of Weil et al. (2004, JAS, 61,
2877-2887). This method is switched on by the new particle package
parameter use_sgs_for_particles.
This also forces the Euler/upstream method to be used for time
advancement of the TKE (see new parameter use_upstream_for_tke).
The minimum timestep during the sub-timesteps is controlled by
parameter dt_min_part.
The data type particle_type
has additional new attributes e_m,
dt_sum,
and speed_x/y/z_sgs. Other new particle features: output of particle quantities as timeseries in NetCDF format (on local file DATA_1D_PTS_NETCDF). The output time interval is controlled by parameter dt_dopts. Particle advection can be switched off after some time using parameter end_time_prel. More than one particle per point can be started with parameter particles_per_point.

29/03/07 | SR | 3.2 | N | The code, including scripts, utility programs and documentation is now under full control of subversion. This revision includes a quite large number of new features, changes and bugfixes. Particle reflection from vertical walls implemented. The particle SGS model is also adjusted to these vertical walls. Wall functions for vertical walls now include diabatic conditions. New subroutines wall_fluxes, wall_fluxes_e. New 4D-array rif_wall. Calculation/output of precipitation amount, precipitation rate and z0 (by setting "pra*", "prr*", "z0*" with data_output). The time interval on which the precipitation amount is defined is set by new d3par-parameter precipitation_amount_interval. New inipar-parameter loop_optimization to control the loop optimization method. New inipar-parameter pt_reference. If given, this value is used as the reference that is used in the buoyancy terms (otherwise, the instantaneous horizontally averaged temperature is used). New d3par-parameter netcdf_64bit_3d to switch on and especially to switch off 64bit offset for 3D files only (because still some pd-software is unable to handle 64bit offset). New d3par-parameter dt_max to set the maximum value allowed for the timestep. New user interfaces user_advec_particles and user_init_3d_model. The new initializing action "by_user" calls user_init_3d_model and allows the initial setting of all 3d arrays under complete user control. Samples added to the user interface which show how to add user-define time series quantities. Topography height informations are stored on arrays zu_s_inner and zw_w_inner and output to the 2d/3d NetCDF files.

C | General revision of non-cyclic horizontal boundary conditions: Radiation boundary conditions are now used instead of Neumann conditions at the outflow (calculation needs velocity values for t-dt, which are stored on new arrays u_m_l, u_m_r, etc.). The calculation of a mean outflow is not needed any more. Volume flow control is added for the outflow boundary (currently only for the north boundary!!). Additional gridpoints along x and y (uxrp, vynp) are not needed any more and removed from the code. Routine "boundary_conds" now operates on timelevel t+dt and is not split in two parts (main, uvw_outflow) any more. Neumann boundary conditions are used at inflow/outflow in case of non-cyclic boundary conditions for all 2d-arrays that are handled by exchange_horiz_2d. Attention: the non-cyclic boundary conditions of this revision still contain some bugs which will be removed within the next revisions! The Bott-Chlond-scheme can now be used in the vectorization-optimized part (NEC, etc.). Equations are solved up to gridpoint nzt. The FFT-method for solving the Poisson-equation is now working with Neumann boundary conditions both at the bottom and the top. This requires adjustments of the tridiagonal coefficients and subtracting the horizontally averaged mean from the vertical velocity field. Particles-package is now part of the default code ("-p particles" is not needed as an mrun-option any more). New attribute age_m in particle_type. Move call of user_actions( 'after_integration' ) below the increments of times and counters. user_actions is now called for each statistic region and has as an argument the number of the respective region (sr). d3par-parameter data_output_ts is removed. Timeseries output for profil-software removed. Timeseries are now switched on by setting dt_dots. Timeseries data is collected in flow_statistics. Initial velocities at nzb+1 are regarded for volume flow control in case they have been set zero before (to avoid small timesteps); see new internal parameters u/v_nzb_p1_for_vfc. q is not allowed any more to become negative (prognostic_equations). poisfft_init is only called if the fft-solver is switched on (init_pegrid). d3par-parameter moisture renamed to humidity. Subversion global revision number is read from mrun and added to the run description header and to the run control (_rc) file. __vtk directives removed from main program.

settings to the configuration file. A description is added to chapter
5.0 of the online documentation. Scripts are also running under the public domain ksh. Filetransfer by ftp removed (options -f removed from mrun and mbuild). Call of (system-)FLUSH routine moved to new routine local_flush. return_addres and return_username are read from ENVPAR-NAMELIST-file instead of using local_getenv. Preprocessor strings for different linux clusters changed to "lc", some preprocessor directives renamed (new: __intel_openmp_bug which is used for the bug in tridia_1dd and the OpenMP directives). Preprocessor directives for old systems have been removed. | advec_particles,

Die einzelnen Quelltextdateien des Modells werden mit RCS (Revision Control System) verwaltet. Grundlegende Kenntnisse über dieses System werden im weiteren vorausgesetzt.
Änderungen am Modellcode erfordern die Durchführung bestimmter Aktionen in einer festgelegten Reihenfolge, die nun beschrieben werden sollen.
Dieser Abschnitt verweist auf vorhandene Beschreibungen der
genauen
Funktionsweise einzelner, spezieller Modellteile. Dazu gehört
z.B.
die Beschreibung bestimmter numerischer Verfahren (auch ihr
theoretischer
Hintergrund), die Erklärung besonderer Prinzipien bei der
Parallelisierung
oder Erläuterungen zur Vorgehensweise bei der Lösung
bestimmter
Aufgaben (z.B. der Berechnung horizontal gemittelter
Größen).
Die Beschreibungen liegen in jeweils getrennten Dokumenten,
in der
Regel als TeX- und/oder Postscript-Datei vor und sind über die
folgenden
Links zugänglich.
