Radiation Pressure

  • Static radiation pressure test looks good. Setting up some dynamic tests. (Normalize min vel to sound speed?)
  • Radiation/recombination-limited simulation (same as previous, but with 2x1017 max flux) needs to have ramping adjusted - larger flux just obliterates the atmosphere. I'm thinking start from 10-4 or so lower, and adjust the ramping speed and half time accordingly.

  • Need to work out photon-limited parameters — mass of planet as given is too low for the radius and temperature and results in an infinitely extended atmosphere.
