COMMON ENVELOPE SIMULATIONS

AGB paper

I have "completed" all the figures for the AGB paper. Will now write it up.

RLOF+CEE Simulations

Goal for this month is to (1) set up new high resolution, large box, optimal RLOF run (now undergoing testing) and (2) restart from end of old RLOF runs with improved refinement and evolve as long as possible (to serve ultimately as low resolution comparison runs).

  1. New runs
    1. Run 199: Setup with smoothly matched hydrostatic atmosphere matching on to constant ambient at larger radius and density thresholds for refinement. >>Crashes ~immediately due to high pressure gradients just outside primary. Rerunning now with AstroBEAR default refinement. —> queued
    2. Run 196: Setup with low constant ambient, refined on density, eventually slows down a lot. Restarted from frame 29 with AstroBEAR default refinement. Runs fast but chombo sizes are HUGE since much more volume is refined. (First I tried qTolerance 0.2, then later changed to 0.4 to reduce file size. DesiredFillRatios set to 0.7.) Ran but then crashed on a restart when reading chombo (not sure why). Restart from frame 35 is now in the queue.
  2. Continuation of old runs (only the last chombo of each had been kept!)
    1. Run 195: Separation of 1.5 times old separation, restarted from frame 50 of Run 161 with higher density thresholds for refinement and one extra refinement level for very high density—> completed up to frame 201
    2. Run 201: Roche-limit separation (=2.2 times old separation), restarted from frame 53 of Run 160 with higher density thresholds for refinement and one extra refinement level for very high density—> running, completed up to frame 146
    3. Run 202: Roche-limit separation (=2.2 times old separation) with low density ambient (67 times lower than fiducial), restarted from frame 27 of Run 162 with higher density thresholds for refinement and one extra refinement level for very high density—> queued
