Possible Projects

Feel free to add things below...

Even better: Briefly summarize here, and then link to an issue in some Clawpack repository, creating a new one if necessary (e.g. in geoclaw/issues or another repository such as visclaw if that's more relevant). Having it as an issue makes it easier for other to join the discussion about it, and makes sure it doesn't get lost after the worshop ends.

Possible topics for the hackathon:

• Add sediment transport to D-Claw (and GeoClaw?)
• Add precipitation as a standard feature in GeoClaw and D-Claw
• PyVista/GeoVista visualization tools in 3D, see visclaw/issues/311
• Add more examples to geoclaw/examples, e.g.
  • Periodic in longitude on sphere
  • Illustrating restart capabilities
  • More complete example of realistic tsunami from source to inundation
• Adopt xarray and rioxarray more heavily

General housekeeping things we could tackle:

• Fix regression testing using pytest, add more regression tests
• Are flagregions checked based on cell centers or edges? (Causes problems in regression testing)
• Test if GeoClaw works with more than 2 ghost cells?
• Think about ways to make num_eqn aka nvar aka meqn a constant value instead of variable using iso-c bindings. Test if this speeds up the code.
• Speed up limiters using a "merge" command.
