Status of DFNflow

Asked by Robert Caulk

I am working on modifying the conductance estimates between cells in the FlowEngine at the location of broken bonds. It appears Bruno, Aton, and Luc have already worked on implementing something similar in DFNflow. Why did you decide to stop working on it? I hope the answer to this question will help me assess whether or not I want to modify DFNflow or start a new flowengine.

Hello, it is now implemented and functional. This is maybe why it looks like "stopped".
I would suggest improvements/changes (if needed) instead of re-starting from scratch.
Changing the functional dependency between aperture and conductivity (for instance) is not a big deal in itself, the main difficulties were much more algorithmic.

The DFN code was developed as part of the PhD of Timos Papachristos, who is actually defending today (in 20min). Interesting synchronicity!

Thank you, Bruno, that answers my question. Good luck to Timos on his defense today!
