Future
- Define new variables like Vorticity, evaluate only on the solid boundaries and output to a file
- All solids should be given a unique flag which should follow to the cut cells, so that forces can be calculated for several solids
- Implicit treatment of Robin conditions
- Stability of Crank-Nicholson viscous discretisation
- Direct import of xyz flat files (i.e. remove the need to convert to GTS first)
- Macro support when restarting from binary save files
- Multiple moving bodies
- Improve predictor-corrector timestepping for the GfsRiver solver
- Free-surface flows
- Sub-cycled timestepping for Saint-Venant solver
- Changelog in update manager
- GfsRiver: implement Saint-Venant equations with an adjustable shape factor
- VariableDistanceSolid returning the smallest distance to a GfsSolid
- On-disk "time slices" for CGD files
- Objects in modules do not seem to appear in examples (e.g. GfsInitOkada)
- Per-example bibliography in examples and test suite
GfsView
- View particles
- Colored streamlines, streamribbons
- Small xyz reference axis on some corner
- Transparency, line thickness, line style
- Labels on isolines
- Loading different simulation files simultaneously
- "Continuous" isosurfaces
- Import SVG, Xfig etc... as surfaces
- Check compatibility of GfsView and Gerris versions at runtime
- Port code to GtkBuilder
- Save window size in .gfv files (for use in batch mode)
