+For production runs, the domain needs to be extended in x so that the sheared interface doesn't reach the boundaries.
 
+'''Instabilities''': Beta = 1 is too strong of a field, as it completely prevents formation of the 3 instabilities relevant to molecular cloud formation; thermal instabilities, kelvin helmoltz waves, and the NTSI are all absent in the strong field case. The NTSI seems to be strongest in the hydro case, and KH seems to increase in strength with increasing shear angle. 
 
 == Column Density Maps == 
 
-These column density maps are made by summing the density over all cells through a given dimension, using both the gas and sink components. You can use the above 3D plot for orientation. In the 'down the barrel case', the vertical dimension is z, and the horizontal axis is y. The axes are given in the other plots.

Recall, the interface is rotated about y (as can be seen in above [http://astrobear.pas.rochester.edu/trac/wiki/u/erica/LowResMHDShearFlows?action=edit#OrientationofCollisionInterface plot]).
