V2.12

compatible for CADET-3.1.2

This is the final release of SMB that is compatible with CADET-2.3.2

We are going to switch to CADET version 3.

This is the final release that is compatible with CADET version 2.3.2

Sorry for the bugs in figure plots.

• The internal column states are used to plot chromatograms;
• Column tensor: row-major and column-major are fixed

v2.9

1. eight-zone scheme can be opted
2. Regarding the optimization part, the following algorithms are added
   • Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC);
   • Metropolis adjusted Differential Evolution (MADE);
   • Metropolis adjusted Langevin algorithm defined on the Riemann manifold (PRML)

V2.8

Major improvements since last release

• standard_SMB approach: the naive simulation manner of SMB processes
• one-column analog approach: comparing with standard_SMB, it speeds up the convergence;
• cascade approach: an exclusive approach for ternary separations by connecting two SMB units sequentially;
• operator-splitting approach: a novel approach that aimed to reproduce the real flow pattern and to obtain the actual convergence trajectories;
• advanced operator-splitting approach: a developed operator-splitting approach, which overcomes a drawback of the operator-splitting approach

V2.7

Major improvements since last release

• Different type of SMB variants (the standard_SMB; the one-column analog; operator-splitting) are in the different branches
• Plotting trajectory dynamics for SMB variants are available
• Added the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and dispersion plug flow reactor (DPFR) before and after each column in different zones
• Increased the maximal number of the column amount to 130
• Fixed the plotting bug in the operator-splitting analog SMB variant
• Made the code compact;

V2.5

Major improvements since last release

• Ternary separation is available, using FIVE-ZONE scheme;
• Four components in the ternary separation is also possible;
• 1-1-1-1-1, 2-2-2-2-2, 3-3-3-3-3, and 4-4-4-4-4 configurations are available for five-zone SMB unit;
• added more demonstration cases, getParameters.m;
• combined different Binding Models: apart from Linear Binding, Multi-Component Bi-Langmuir Binding and Multi-Component Langmuir Binding are available;
• changed the structure of code.
