Previously Jacobians were stored by engines and accessed through engine
accessors (e.g getJacobianMatrixEntry); however, this resulted in
desynced jacobian states. We have changed to a pattern of Engine creates
a jacobian and returns it to the caller. The caller can then do what
they will with it. Because of this the getJacobianMatrixEntry method has
been removed.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- There is no longer any getJacobianMatrixEntry method on
DynamicEngine classes
- the generateJacobian method signature has changed to return a
NetworkJacobian object. Internally this uses an Eigen Sparse Matrix to
store its data.
This entailed a major rewrite of the composition handling from each engine and engine view along with the solver and primer. The intent here is to let Compositions be constructed from the same extensive property which the solver tracks internally. This addressed C0 discontinuity issues in the tracked molar abundances of species which were introduced by repeadidly swaping from molar abundance space to mass fraction space and back. This also allowed for a simplification of the primeNetwork method. Specifically the mass borrowing system was dramatically simplified as molar abundances are extensive.
Major weak rate progress which includes: A refactor of many of the public interfaces for GridFire Engines to use composition objects as opposed to raw abundance vectors. This helps prevent index mismatch errors. Further, the weak reaction class has been expanded with the majority of an implimentation, including an atomic_base derived class to allow for proper auto diff tracking of the interpolated table results. Some additional changes are that the version of fourdst and libcomposition have been bumped to versions with smarter caching of intermediate vectors and a few bug fixes.
