Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for the pmgbergen/porepy repository, highlighting business value and technical achievements. The team delivered a unified progress bar system across modules, ensuring consistent progress tracking with or without tqdm via a common progressbar_class, including proper log redirection and warnings when tqdm is unavailable. We also enhanced test reliability by fixing nonlinear solver test data (adding non-empty nonlinear_increment lists) to allow NewtonSolver.solve to run, reducing spurious failures. Several maintainability improvements were applied through code review suggestions and import fixes (e.g., DummyTrange), consolidating progress bar usage and lowering ongoing maintenance. Overall, these efforts improve user-facing experience, CI stability, and developer efficiency while strengthening solver reliability and code quality.

May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for repository pmgbergen/porepy. Focused on stabilizing numerical workflows and strengthening test coverage for matrix operations. Key features delivered: - Testing improvements for SolutionStrategy (Matrix Permutations and Inversion): Expanded tests for generate_block_permutations and invert_non_diagonal_matrix, refactored test setup with fixtures for block-structured matrices to validate permutation and inversion logic across different block orderings and sizes. Major bugs fixed: - Progress Bar Stability when Newton Solver Diverges: Fixed progress bars not updating when Newton fails on the first iteration, preventing errors from accessing empty statistics and ensuring the status reflects the solver outcome. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability of the Newton solver workflow by ensuring accurate progress reporting in failure scenarios and by hardening the test suite around core matrix operations, enabling safer refactors and more robust numerical behavior. - Improved confidence in solver logic and edge-case handling, contributing to reduced debugging time in production runs and smoother developer feedback loops. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python, pytest-based testing, and fixtures for block-structured matrices - Matrix permutations and inversion logic validation - Test-driven development, refactoring, and commit discipline - Quality assurance alignment with CI readiness and performance reviews

Mar 1, 2025Month: 2025-03 — Focused on enhancing testing/demo capabilities and mesh tagging robustness in the porepy repository. Delivered a SPE11 example script to enable end-to-end testing and demonstrations of the SPE11 comparative solution project, which downloads geometric data, prepares the mesh with correct face normals, defines material properties (permeability and porosity), and sets up a PorePyModel for single-phase flow simulations. Also established a grid tagging workflow to convert Gmsh elements into PorePy tags, and hardened tests against tetrahedral geometries to prevent unbound condition errors. These changes increase test coverage, accelerate on-boarding and demos, and lay groundwork for broader workflow scalability.
