Lack of quick facility for printing omega(t) to screen

[Michael Hardman]

I am upgrading to the most recent master version of the code (8.1.2) after spending too long in a development branch. After running a favourite test case, I note that omega and omega_avg are no longer written to ASCII text files, regardless of the input options. This is documented here https://gyrokinetics.gitlab.io/gs2/page/namelists/index.html#gs2_diagnostics_knobs-write_omega.

Whilst I will be able to go and write a script that does this, it seems that a python facility for printing omega should be provided with GS2, since most of the community use GS2 only as a linear solver. I do not understand why the simple omega diagnostic has been removed from the source code (perhaps I have missed an earlier issue?). I would suggest that the ASCII diagnostic should be reinstated.

Hi @Michael Hardman , does print_line or write_line do what you want?

[Michael Hardman]

The problem here is the user: my eyes were distracted by the nonlinear flux outputs written in the same file as the omega diagnostic.

Please ignore or delete this issue.

I never saw this…
