End-to-end Auto Mesh Gen - Iteration 01

[felicio93]

This iteration will focus on creating the first end-to-end 3D mesh and organization of the first paper.

Minimum Viable Product:

River Mesh

• To be able to convert RiverMapper outputs into quadrangular/triangular meshes that keep the connectivity

Ocean Mesh

• To use predefined ocean meshes

FloodPlain Mesh

• To OCSMesh generated floodplain mesh

Mesh Merging and Refinement

• The final mesh must be free of errors (can be open on SMS without raising any warning)

Vertical Grid

• Use some vertical grid generator (either from pyschism or we implement it new on OCSMesh)

Testing - VIMS

• This mesh is validated against COOPS stations. No expectation for high skill for now.

Publications

• Submit AGU abstract
• Put together the first draft of the Ocean Modeling paper

Nice To Have:

Vertical Grid

• To use LSC2
• To update the PySCHISM to take variable parameters

Ocean Mesh

• To create functions for identifying island/eddy/non-eddy regime areas

Testing - VIMS

• To run and test the mesh for different storms and variables other than just tides.

The latest OCSMesh PR includes functions that will be needed to complete this Iteration, including:
clip_elements_by_index #based on previous river-in-mesh code from Soorosh
cleanup_skewed_el #based on elements internal angles, removes both tria and quad
cleanup_concave_quads
quadrangulate_rivermapper_arcs #based on RiverMapper diagnostic arcs
