Roadmap

[aelligp]

This issue should be a place to add tasks and mark them as complete. Sorted by priority

Additional features:

1. Plastic strain/ strain weakening
2. Marker Chain Freesurface stabilisation
3. add benchmarks to CI tests (Add CI tests for newer Benchmarks #107)
4. Thermal stresses Kiss et al. (2023) (Thermal Stresses  #115)
5. add restart function (Checkpointing - adds jld2 function #145)
6. Tensile Plasticity Kiss et al. (2023)
7. Add plasticity models to GeoParams (for pseudotransient solvers) and employ that
8. Rate dependent friction (Book of Gerya, 2019) (GeoParams.jl)
9. Seismo-thermomechanical: Adaptive timestepping (Book of Gerya, 2019)

UX:

1. improve CodeCov (partly addressed by Improve Codecov coverage #210)
2. add Documentation

The last point should be a GeoParams issue though

[boriskaus]

correct, but we should make sure that JustRelax uses these GeoParams features rather than the status-quo which is hand-coding plasticity

[albert-de-montserrat]

Plastic softening already merged in GeoParams in here

[boriskaus]

do you currently use the total strain or plastic strain to weaken? Plastic strain would be useful to have as well

[albert-de-montserrat]

As for GeoParams, it can be any of them. Im working on the JustRelax kernels now; I was thinking of using the plastic one.

Marker chain addressed by #43

[aelligp]

Thermal Stresses are addressed by #115

[aelligp]

Add a flag/throw error if the BC's are not set properly e.g.:

flow_bcs    = FlowBoundaryConditions(;
       no_slip     = (left=true, right=true, top=true, bot=true),
       free_slip   = (left=true, right=false, top=false, bot=false),
       )

This should lead to an error or warning as both no_slip and free_slip on the left boundary is set to true

[albert-de-montserrat]

Throwing sounds more appropriate

[aelligp]

• Rate dependent friction (Book of Gerya, 2019)
• Seismo-thermomechanical: Adaptive timestepping (Book of Gerya, 2019)

[boriskaus]

Rate dependent friction should obviously be added to GP
