Marshes into Cascade

[franklin1895]

Thread outlining progress and issues towards bringing marshes from BarrierBMFT into Cascade

[franklin1895]

Basic Current Structure of Cascade:

1. Initialize a specific instance of the Cascade Class from your run file script
2. While making an instance of Cascade Initialize the BRIE coupler
3. BRIE Coupler initializes multiple instances of BRIE
4. Initalize_equal function makes multiple instances of Barrier3D and equalizes values between BRIE and Cascade
5. Use cascade.update() to update time steps of Cascade
6. Update multiple instances of Barrier3D
7. If alongshore transport is active, update AST using Cascade otherwise update cross-shore dynamics in Barrier3D
8. If human dynamics are active, run human modules

New revised Cascade structure (Assume no human modules are active)

1. Initialize a specific instance of the Cascade Class from your run file script

2. While making an instance of Cascade Initialize the BRIE coupler

3. BRIE Coupler initializes multiple instances of BRIE

4. Initalize_equal function makes multiple instances of Barrier3D and equalizes values between BRIE and Cascade

5. If marsh dynamics are turned on, initialize a back-barrier transect from PyBMFT for each B3D section

6. Use cascade.update() to update time steps of Cascade

7. Update multiple instances of Barrier3D

8. If alongshore transport is active, update AST using Cascade otherwise update cross-shore dynamics in Barrier3D

9. Update each PyBMFT transect based on changes in Barrier3D

10. Update back barrier elevation in Barrier3D based on changes in PyBMFT

11. (Unknown if needed) Update back barrier elevation in Brie based on changes in Barrier3D

12. If human dynamics are active, run human modules

@anardek Here's my basic outline

This looks really good to me! Just make sure to follow the same structure as the other couplers/human dynamics modules and create a class for pyBMFT that you then call within the main CASCADE update loop. Also, make sure to pull any recent changes from CASCADE before you start.

Will do. I went and pulled in new changes into CASCADE from the Main branch. I will now attempt to integrate with a single CASCADE instance first. (1 Cascade, 1 BRIE, 1 Barrier3D, and 1 PyBMFT)

[franklin1895]

@anardek I have run a coupled version of Cascade and PyBMFT using 1 B3D grid. I'm next going to try running multiple B3D grids in Cascade. My updated branch is on Git. You'll need to have PyBMFT installed from the CECL Github to run it
