[FLASH-USERS] FLASH Capabilities

[Slavin, Jonathan]

I can answer your first question and the answer is no, there is no
capability in FLASH at present to do anisotropic thermal conduction.  I
wish there were.  John Zuhone has done some work on this, but only for the
formulation of thermal conduction that is explicit - which then requires
short time steps for stability.  It'd be great if someone would create and
share a unit that includes anisotropic thermal conduction for the implicit
formulation.  I don't think it would necessarily be terribly difficult, but
I don't have time right now to work on it.

Regards,
Jon
