[FLASH-USERS] What data is stored in ENER_VAR in MHD simulations?

Hi everybody!
I'm having a doubt about what data is stored in the UNK specific total
energy ENER_VAR in MHD simulations.

The flash4.2.2 user's guide equation 14.22 says for the perfect-gas
equation of state that
ENER_VAR= 0.5*v + PRES/(DENS*(gamma-1)) + B**2/(2*DENS)

But, the outputs seem to show that
ENER_VAR= 0.5*v + PRES/(DENS*(gamma-1))

So, I'm confused. Any idea?


I'm using flash4.2.2 release in an ideal MHD simulation with 1T perfect-gas
equation of state.
