"intensive" means that the value of these quantities at a given
spatial location does not depend on any value of the neighboring
intensive quantities. In contrast, "extensive" quantities depend in
the intensive quantities of the environment of the spatial location.
this change is necessary is because the previous nomenclature was very
specific to finite volume discretizations, but the models themselves
were already rather generic. (i.e., "volume variables" are the
intensive quantities of finite volume methods and "flux variables"
are the extensive ones.)
because "manager" sounds less religious than "creator" and the
GridCreators did all kinds of other stuff besides creating the grid.
this patch also gets rid of the static function inside these classes,
which should make them easier to understand...
this also comes with moving responsibilities around and some smaller
cleanups for the grid creation. (although grid creation could be
possibly done by the simulator now, the GridCreator concept has not
been abandoned, yet...)
These used to be needed to be enabled by the problem, but doing it in
the generic code is more fool proof and thus better.
On my laptop, volume variable caching caused the linearization time
for first time step of the isothermal vertex-centered CO2 injection
problem using the flash model go from 33.7 to 15.7 seconds, and
enabling thermodynamic hints in addition yielded a linearization time
of "only" 9.5 seconds. (that is for a debug build compiled with clang
3.3.)
this is implemented by extending the existing functionality for hints
and leads to a significant reduction of the volume variables updates
required. unfortunately, the performance with cached volume variables
is basically identical to the non-cached case, so they are disabled by
default...
anyway, this makes the thermodynamic hints code more robust and
cleaner, so it does not hurt to add it...
this allows to retrieve the name of the problem before it is
instantiated. this is required to be able to print the "Initializing
problem" message at the correct point (i.e., before instantiating the
problem).
and some other minor changes. (if you need line search the issue is
probably caused a different problem and line search would be just a
work-around anyway.)
This should make things a much more robust, partially because now the
linear and the non-linear solvers use the same convergence criterion.
Also, this patch includes some collateral indentation improvements.
This makes eWoms multi-discretization capable. Along the way, this
fixes some bugs and does a medium sized reorganization of the source tree.
This is a squashed patch of the following commits:

ECFV: make it work
the local residual/jacobian needed some work in distinguishing primary

code.
for some reason, it seems still not correct. (-> convergence is too slow.)

make the method to calculate gradients and values at flux approximation points changeable
Currently, this is used by the vertex centered finite volume method to
be able to use P1-finite element gradients instead of two-point
ones...
--------
47th commit message:
make the restart code work correctly, use the correct DofMapper for VCFV
--------

the immiscible model in this case

54th commit message:
temporarily disable jacobian recycling
--------
55th commit message:
fix writing/reading restart files using the generic code

--------
58th commit message:
make it compile on GCC
--------
59th commit message:
get rid of most hacks
for this, partial reassemble and jacobian recycling was brought
back. For the this and the remaining stuff the main trick is the
introduction of the GridCommHandleFactory concept which constructs
communication handles suited for the respective spatial
discretization...
--------
60th commit message:
fix a few annoying bugs
first, default the convergence criterion for the linear solver did not
honor the initial residual which lead to linear solver breakdowns,
then some debugging code was left in the discrete fracture model and
then there was a bug in the TP gradient approximation class...
this has the consequence that we need a new reference solution for the
discrete fracture problem...
--------
61st commit message:
iterative linear solver: remove the code for the non-default convergence criteria
--------
62nd commit message:
provide the FE cache instead of the local FE
this fixes a segfault in the stokes model caused by the fact that the
local FE was not initialized at this point.
--------
63rd commit message:
(Navier-)Stokes: fix bug due to the transition to unit normals
now, all tests pass for this branch. The only things which need to be
fixed are some annoying performance regressions compared to master and
some bug in the splices feature of the property system...
--------
64th commit message:
some fix for the local residual of the immiscible model
--------
65th commit message:
Navier-Stokes: implement SCV center gradients
There seems to be a bug in the previous implementation (the jacobian
inverse transposed is evaluated using the local, not the global
geometry), so the reference solution for the stokes2c test problem has
also been updated...
--------
66th commit message:
remove the ALUGrid specialization of the LensGridCreator and the YaspGrid one for the fingerproblem
using different grid seems to sometimes cause a different vertex
order, which in turn causes the respective test to fail if the
reference solution was computed using the other grid...
--------
67th commit message:
VCFV: use the correct BorderListCreator
this makes MPI parallel computations work again. apart from
performance regressions, this branch does not exhibit any known
regressions compared to master anymore...
--------
68th commit message:
make verything compile with the element centered finite volume discretization
except the Navier-Stokes and the two-phase DFM models, of course...
--------
69th commit message:
minor fixes
- make the navier-stokes model slighly more generic by using the
proper (in,ex)teriorIndex() methods on sub-control volumes
- make the signature of the calculateValue() template method of the
common two-point gradient approximator match the one of the vertex
centered finite volume one
--------
70th commit message:
fix fallout from the Big Rebase
--------
71st commit message:
ECFV: some bugs in the boundary
--------
72nd commit message:
make computeFlux() compute area-specific quantities
--------
73rd commit message:
fix more bugs in the element centered FV discretization
now eWoms should match Dumux pretty closely...
--------
74th commit message:
coalesce the common code of the multi phase porous medium models into "MultiPhaseBaseModel"
--------
75th commit message:
update reference solutions
these were changed because of the screw-up with the area of boundary
segments...
--------
76th commit message:
rename "ImplicitBase" to "FvBase"
because in eWoms, everything is implicit and these are currently the
base classes for all finite volume discretizations.
--------
77th commit message:
make the spatial discretization selectable using a splice
This requires an opm-core with a the patches from
https://github.com/OPM/opm-core/pull/446 merged...
--------
78th commit message:
rename the properties used for splices to *Splice
--------
79th commit message:
move the files in 'tests/models' to 'tests'
since 'tests' was empty except for the 'models' subdirectory...
--------
80th commit message:
improve and fix the tutorial
--------
81st commit message:
remove the -fno-strict-aliasing flag from the provided option files
seems like recent versions of Dune have been adapted...
--------
82nd commit message:
also compile all CO2 injection simulations using the element centered finite volume discretization
--------
83rd commit message:
PVS model: make it work properly with the element-centered finite volume discretiation
because DOF != number of vertices
we do not have a decoupled tutorial anymore since, well, the decoupled
models have been removed. Also since the move to the Opm CMake based
build system, the "How to create a new folder" section in the handbook
was obsolete.
