2017.2.0

Added ability to override convolution function from controldict
Python libraries now link against bundled openssl
Performance improvements
Added some validation of parameters before running the solver
Corrected parsing of filtering epsilon and filtering strength values so they are treated as double instead of truncated to int
Fix to roughness values when running in parallel
Added BR2 scheme to High Order code
Ensured halo conditions are correct for strong Boundary Condition formulations
Added improved interpolation for temperature field input
Ensured restricted mut is the average of the child cells
Fixes to restart logic
Timing output has been improved to report in days. hours, minutes and seconds
Enabled CUDA optimisations for Pascal architecture GPUS
Added support for P3 Tris
Bug fix to prism elements when running in parallel
Allow user to scale cfl number for viscous timestep
Added update frequency parameter for turbine zone definitions
Added a native implementation of the convolution function
Added specific keywords for specifying the turbine fluid zone length factor and the reference point offset
Added automatic check to make sure that the reference point is located inside the turbine region
Added fix for case where only one turbine location is specified as this broke the numpy logic
Added warning when users specify a thrust coefficient greater than 1 as this invalidates the induction factor calculation later
Added turbine power curve to turbine fluid zones
Added keyword to specify the model (induction or simple) to be used for modelling turbines
Added function 'create_turbine_segments_simple' which uniformly applies thrust and torque to the actuator disc segments, based on the thrust coefficient, tip speed ratio and power curves supplied by the user
Added thrust summation for simple turbine
Added use of a search tree to speed up cell searching in turbine regions
Turbine region function now use line and tube filters rather than cylinder
Added dissipation to boundary fluxes
Turned on extrapolation for Farfield Boundary conditions
Added support for Cray XC systems. Contact us to get a specific version for this platform
Added relocate option for when the executable on the compute nodes are in a different location to the submit node
Fixes to WALE model for High Order solver
Added SA Neg Model for Finite Volume solver
Added SA Model for High Order solver
Improved output of high order eddy viscosity
Robustness fixes for reference plane cell identification
Added option to output fluidic zone cell sets
Removed warnings when TRBX file specifies thrust coefficient greater than 1
Added warning when thrust coefficient > 1 is specified for the 'induction' model. CT is then scaled back to 0.8
Added turbine power output for Betz limit turbine
Allow user to set shock sensor variable
multigrid_cycles variable can be use to turn off Polynomial Multigrid for the High Order solver
Allow specifying the real time step frequency at which the restart H5 file gets written
Added user option to scale residuals by volume
Ensured dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity output total mu+mu_t
Allow using Rusanov for turbulence when HLLC is chosen for High Order solver
Added ABL fluidic zone type
Added ability to specify the PMG cycle pattern from the python dictionary using the 'multipoly cycle pattern' key
Ensure that the last solve cycle does a PMG cycle in the High Order Solver
Added STL file option for turbine offset specification
Improved parallel load balancing
Added SAS to LES options
Changed default ambient turbulence to off so that SA and SST results match
Improve startup performance for High Order Solver
Added option to turn on rotation correction for SA
Fix to memory allocation for SAS
Added Boussinesq buoyancy
Write turbine power to file on update
Added libgfortran to tarball for systems where it's not already installed
