Update 9/25

  • Ionizing planet: see previous post
    • Two more things to (possibly) examine:
      • Increase box size by Rp in each direction, to match size of box in ATHENA
      • Whether ramping time or box size has bigger effect on surface
        • Should just need one more run (high resolution, small box, long ramping time)
    • Also, doesn't seem to be resolving anywhere but where it's forced
  • Testing planet with Coriolis and stellar gravity (point particle off grid - ok?): BlueHive problems, only at frame 60. Wind isn't far enough from planet to be affected significantly by Coriolis, but tidal forces are definitely working.

  • Still working on 1D version of planet
  • Charge exchange: Have a modified fixed boundary condition module that should be testable, but working through a strange issue with the code.
  • Conferences: I sent an email with a few options, reproduced below. Ruth and John have not made any plans for next year yet - they're going to meet to discuss and get back to us.
