Resolution comparison

  • Queued two more: -5 Rp to 5 Rp in all directions (same domain as ATHENA), at medium resolution (32 cells/Rp - BlueHive) and high resolution (64 cells/Rp) - BlueStreak.
  • Also would like to compare a quick ramping time for one set of good runs, to determine if it's the ramping time or box size that has the most impact.

1 unit of computational time is 2 crossing times (for the planet - from 0 to Rp at the sound speed at the planet surface).

No movies for first two, due to storage difficulties.

64 zones/Rp, 2x1013 flux, quick ramping time (half flux by frame 30)

(Ignore the velocity data in this frame - I suspect it's corrupted).

32 zones/Rp, 2x1011 flux

The low-flux case doesn't appear to have reached a steady state yet, possibly because the flow stays subsonic even with the larger box.
