Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Mortar coupling manager refactor for chaos-polymtl/lethe delivering unified constraints management and distributed data handling. Key changes unify constraints_extended usage across all functions and add partitioner_extended to optimize distributed data processing, improving consistency and performance. Implemented in commit 6f0bab565027bcbc56016184951d897b2a8c54ab (Mortar: use constraints_extended in all functions (#1692)). No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus was refactor to reduce maintenance burden and enable more reliable distributed operations. Overall impact: greater predictability in constraint semantics across nodes, enhanced readiness for scalable runs, and a cleaner codebase for future feature work. Technologies/skills: distributed systems design, refactoring, constraint management, data partitioning enhancements.

Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, the Lethe work focused on expanding 3D mortar geometry capabilities, strengthening solver robustness, and stabilizing multi-process execution. The team delivered 3D mortar geometry support with rotation handling, improved mortar index computations and side-awareness to increase geometric fidelity, and introduced solver robustness improvements including an Additive Schwarz preconditioner and hp-multigrid support. A deadlock-related constraint issue in the fluid solver across processes was resolved, enhancing reliability for large, multi-process runs. Overall, these efforts expanded the codebase’s applicability to more complex 3D simulations, improved numerical stability and scalability, and reduced failure modes in production-like workloads.
