amr-wind - v2.1.0
(Note: v2.2.0 is preferred as the initial Waves2AMR-compatible implementation because it points to the repository belonging to the Exawind github organization)
Integrating the library "Waves2AMR" as a submodule. This enables AMR-Wind to read modes files generated by HOS-Ocean and put the corresponding ocean waves into the fluid domain as the simulation evolves. This submodule requires the fftw library as a dependency. By default, the Waves2AMR capabilities are not compiled, but the submodule is still present. Before turning on these capabilities, ensure that the submodule has been initialized and updated. The fftw dependency is automatically recognized by Spack when using the variant "+waves2amr", which also serves to activate the Waves2AMR features.
Other helpful improvements since v2.0.0:
- a bug fix for the timetable feature of ABL / ABLForcing
- sampling enabled for derived fields
- a bug fix to enable correct sampling of the actuator source term
- a bug fix causing segfaults when incflo.verbose > 2
- duplicate sampling or plotting fields automatically removed

amr-wind - v1.0.0
This version features a significant update to the ALM methodology, placing the forces from the actuator points at locations corresponding to time n+1/2. This also reverts to sampling cell-centered velocities, which means that ADM methods using OpenFAST (which feature no actuator point motion) are modified to their original formulation.

amr-wind - v0.9.0
This release is to reference when the Exascale computing challenge problem was run in the git history. It is not a full version release due to outstanding issues with the actuator methods that are still being debugged.
