Renaming And Restructuring Current Porofluidmultiphase Files.

by ADMIN 62 views

Introduction

In the pursuit of creating a more organized and intuitive file structure, we propose renaming and restructuring the current Porofluidmultiphase files. This effort aims to simplify the naming conventions and improve the overall clarity of the folder hierarchy. By merging related folders and introducing more descriptive names, we can enhance the usability and maintainability of the codebase.

Current File Structure

The current file structure consists of six folders, each containing different features of the poromultiphase problem. The names of these folders do not provide sufficient information about the contents of each folder, making it challenging to understand the relationships between them.

Current Folder Names

  1. Poroelast: pressure and velocity-based formulation, one phase (Vuong)
  2. Poroelast_scatra: pressure and velocity-based formulation, one phase, scalar transport (Vuong)
  3. Porofluidmultiphase: pressure-based formulation, multiphase (Kremheller)
  4. Porofluidmultiphase_ele: pressure-based formulation, multiphase. Not a global calculation but the evaluation of the element level.
  5. Poromultiphase: pressure-based formulation, multiphase, elasticity of the solid phase (Kremheller)
  6. Poromultiphase_scatra: pressure-based formulation, multiphase, elasticity of the solid phase and scalar transport (Kremheller)

Proposed Changes

To address the issues with the current file structure, we suggest merging the folders related to pressure-based formulations into a single folder called Porofluid_pressure_based. This will help to group related files together and improve the overall organization of the codebase.

Proposed Folder Structure

src/
poroelast/
poroelast_scatra/
porofluid_pressure_based/
    porofluid_pressure_based/
    porofluid_pressure_based_ele/
    porofluid_pressure_based_elast/
    porofluid_pressure_based_elast_scatra/

Proposed Folder Names

  • Porofluid_pressure_based: containing the files of folder 3.
  • Porofluid_pressure_based_ele: containing the files of folder 4.
  • Porofluid_pressure_based_elast: containing the files of folder 5.
  • Porofluid_pressure_based_elast_scatra: containing the files of folder 6.

Benefits of the Proposed Changes

The proposed changes will bring several benefits to the codebase, including:

  • Improved organization and clarity of the folder hierarchy
  • Simplified naming conventions
  • Enhanced usability and maintainability of the codebase
  • Better grouping of related files

Open to Suggestions

While we have discussed this proposal with @bwirthl and @lkoeglmeier, we are open to any other suggestions or ideas that can further improve the file structure. We believe that collaboration and feedback from the community are essential in creating a well-organized and maintainable codebase.

Conclusion

Q&A: Frequently Asked Questions about the Proposed Changes

Q: Why do we need to rename and restructure the current Porofluidmultiphase files?

A: The current file structure is not intuitive, and the names of the folders do not provide sufficient information about the contents of each folder. This makes it challenging to understand the relationships between the folders and the files they contain. By renaming and restructuring the files, we can improve the organization and clarity of the folder hierarchy.

Q: What are the benefits of merging the folders related to pressure-based formulations into a single folder called Porofluid_pressure_based?

A: By merging these folders, we can group related files together and improve the overall organization of the codebase. This will make it easier to find and maintain the files related to pressure-based formulations.

Q: Will the proposed changes affect the functionality of the codebase?

A: No, the proposed changes will not affect the functionality of the codebase. The files and folders will still contain the same code and data, but the organization and naming conventions will be improved.

Q: How will the proposed changes impact the usability and maintainability of the codebase?

A: The proposed changes will improve the usability and maintainability of the codebase by making it easier to find and maintain the files related to pressure-based formulations. This will reduce the time and effort required to understand and modify the code.

Q: Are we open to suggestions and feedback from the community?

A: Yes, we are open to any other suggestions or ideas that can further improve the file structure. We believe that collaboration and feedback from the community are essential in creating a well-organized and maintainable codebase.

Q: Who has discussed this proposal with @bwirthl and @lkoeglmeier?

A: The proposal has been discussed with @bwirthl and @lkoeglmeier, and we are open to hearing their thoughts and suggestions on this proposal.

Q: What is the proposed folder structure?

A: The proposed folder structure is as follows:

src/
poroelast/
poroelast_scatra/
porofluid_pressure_based/
    porofluid_pressure_based/
    porofluid_pressure_based_ele/
    porofluid_pressure_based_elast/
    porofluid_pressure_based_elast_scatra/

Q: What are the proposed folder names?

A: The proposed folder names are:

  • Porofluid_pressure_based: containing the files of folder 3.
  • Porofluid_pressure_based_ele: containing the files of folder 4.
  • Porofluid_pressure_based_elast: containing the files of folder 5.
  • Porofluid_pressure_based_elast_scatra: containing the files of folder 6.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the proposed changes aim to simplify the naming conventions and improve the overall clarity of the folder hierarchy. By merging related folders and introducing more descriptive names, we can enhance the usability and maintainability of the codebase. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions on this proposal.
