3D Melting PCM #125

Closed agzimmerman closed 5 years ago

agzimmerman commented 6 years ago

It would be interesting to extend my melting PCM toy problem to 3D and observe 3D effects that might be relevant to @KaiSchu 's experiment.

agzimmerman commented 6 years ago

A 3D example is working as of PR #129

agzimmerman commented 6 years ago

We submitted the preliminary result, with simplified parameters and no AMR, for the ICCE proceedings paper. Time permitting, it would be nice to get a result with AMR and more realistic parameters. This perhaps shouldn't be attempted until resolving issues with the time step size, initial grid, adaptive solver tolerance, etc.

We should develop a variety of performance improvements (e.g. iterative solver with preconditioning, AMR with coarsening working with OpenMP/TBB and MPI) before focusing on this specific 3D application. I'm closing this for now.
