New Loci/CHEM Version Now Available
The latest release version of Loci/CHEM (version 4-0-beta-10) is now available for download. Registered users should upgrade to the latest version at their convenience.
The upgraded version has the following features:
For Loci:
- The Loci preprocessor nags more on questionable specifications with warnings
- Grid reader improvements for better load balancing with mixed element meshes
- The Loci argument reader now supports an arbitrary order for loci arguments
For CHEM:
- Bug fixes for interpolateInitialCondtions that were introduced in the beta-9 release
- Updates to cavitation models, including nucleation models
- Updates for isentropic and fixed mass inflow BC’s to use a real entropy equation rather than ideal gas approximations
- Updates to the local preconditioning code to improve robustness for barotropic equations of state, including reworked boundary conditions
- Update to the tabular equation of state to include fits for entropy
- New tabulated equation of state datasets for cryogenic materials to include a larger pressure range as well as entropy fits
- Lagrangian particle fix for the turbulent scattering model that caused artificially low scattering
- Lagrangian particle model now outputs the Sauter Mean Diameter
- Fixes for the low dissipation scheme
- Fixes for the frozen time integration mode when used for one-way coupled Lagrangian simulations
- Update to the DHRL turbulence model
- Fixes for online stats for computation of variance when exponential averaging is used
- Online stats updated to output average wall stress
- Improvements to conjugate heat transfer, including documentation in the user guide
