Rewrite of the deco code
o) Instead of using gradient factors as means of comparison, I now use pressure (as in: maximal ambient pressure). o) tissue_tolerance_calc() now computes the maximal ambient pressure now respecting gradient factors. For this, it needs to know about the surface pressure (as refernce for GF_high), thus gets *dive as an argument. It is called from add_segment() which this also needs *dive as an additional argument. o) This implies deco_allowed_depth is now mainly a ambient-pressure to depth conversion with decorations to avoid negative depth (i.e. no deco obliation), implementation of quantization (!smooth => multiples of 3m) and explicit setting of last deco depth (e.g. 6m for O2 deco). o) gf_low_pressure_this_dive (slight change of name), the max depth in pressure units is updated in add_segment. I set the minimal value in buehlmann_config to the equivalent of 20m as otherwise good values of GF_low add a lot of deco to shallow dives which do not need deep stops in the first place. o) The bogus loop is gone as well as actual_gradient_limit() and gradient_factor_calculation() and large parts of deco_allowed_depth() although I did not delete the code but put it in comments. o) The meat is in the formula in lines 147-154 of deco.c. Here is the rationale: Without gradient factors, the M-value (i.e the maximal tissue pressure) at a given depth is given by ambient_pressure / buehlmann_b + a. According to "Clearing Up The Confusion About "Deep Stops" by Erik C. Baker (as found via google) the effect of the gradient factors is no replace this by a reduced affine relation (i.e. another line) such that at the surface the difference between M-value and ambient pressure is reduced by a factor GF_high and at the maximal depth by a factor GF_low. That is, we are looking for parameters alpha and beta such that alpha surface + beta = surface + gf_high * (surface/b + a - surface) and alpha max_p + beta = max_p + gf_low * (max_p/b + a - max_p) This can be solved for alpha and beta and then inverted to obtain the max ambient pressure given tissue loadings. The result is the above mentioned formula. Signed-off-by: Robert C. Helling <helling@atdotde.de> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
