Full Changelog: v3.0.1...v3.0.2

ALaDyn v2020.2

Minor release

Released a patch for the major version v.3.0.0.

Bug fixed

• MPI Particle exchange when the moving window was activated now fully works.
• Parallelization along the longitudinal direction has been tested.
  Now code works also with 1 task along x (this option had been broken in the previous release).
• Envelope boundary conditions have been collected in a single subroutine to ease their management.

ALaDyn v2020.1

New version features

• Physics

  • Envelope model has been deeply tested and validated Terzani, Londrillo, CPC, 2019
  • Fluid scheme is now robust and also tested
  • Hybrid scheme (PIC particles on a fluid background) can be used for LWFA
  • Bunch injection for PWFA has been restored (it was broken) and integrated in the main cycle, so it can be implied both as a driver and as a witness in a LWFA scheme
  • The transverse stretched grid is fully working for LWFA (still beta for bunch injection)

• Code

  • Code has been reformulated using smaller source files
  • Calls to external libraries have been updated
  • Add a FORD documentation that should be gradually extended
  • More intensive use of intrinsic functions to help automatic code vectorization
  • Parallelization along the x direction has been fixed
  • Code has been modernized where possible
  • A lot of bugs fixed

ALaDyn v2019.1

In this release, some known problems have been addressed and new features have been added. In particular:

• stretched grid on transvers axis is now available in a newer and tested version
• simulation dump and restart has been fully parallelized, boosting its performance on multi-core simulations
• compilation scripts have been updated
• minor bug fixes

A forthcoming new release will address more remaining bugs, in preparation for a code reorganization towards a new modular structure.

ALaDyn v2018.3

• The plasma profile can now be designed as a cylindrical matched plasma channel
• Transverse profile is now stored in a single (combined) array instead of two different arrays for the two dimensions
• Lorentz-Maxwell equations for LWFA solver added (fluid description)
• The ionized particles are now identified with a flag, for an easier phase space analysis
• An hybrid plasma description (fluid +kinetic) is now possible

ALaDyn v2018.2

• Introduced optimized derivative to reduce numerical dispersion
• Redesigned plasma ramp with a cubic shape
• Increased output precision in diagnostic and version bumped
• Cleaned first ramp in multi_layer_gas_target
• Add bunch charge from nml
• Increase ci coverage

ALaDyn v2018.1
