Meeting Update May 20

Restarted the triggered star formation run after finding out the original run has created more than 1 zero-mass particles. After tweaking the code, it almost works now, at least for the AMR runs. The following is the Mach = 1.5 run with Krumholz accretion:

Wrote a small cpp program to strip the sink particle data as curve files and plot:

Interestingly, the mass of the star is very close to that of the initial cloud, I have not yet examined how much wind material is contained inside the star.

Later I found some weird behaviors in the uniform collapse problem. Both the Fedderath accretion and Krumholz accretion creates more than particles:

This is also observable if we turn off adaptive refining and use the buffered zone refining instead. The density distribution is slightly different:

Options are:
(1) Complete the AMR runs that looks good.
(2) Find what's wrong with buffered refining, and focus on high res runs.
