[FLASH-USERS] LaserSlab data

[Scott Feister]

Hi Bella,

You do not need Spect3D for that info. Electron temperature and electron
number density can be visualized in VisIt or yt from a FLASH hdf5 output
checkpoint or plotfile. For electron temperature, the relevant FLASH output
variable is "tele". For electron density, you'll need to compute it from
FLASH output variables "dens" and "ye  ".

Electron temperature (K) = "tele"
Electron density (electrons/cm^3) = "dens" * "ye  " * 6.022e23

In VisIt, you'll want to use the "Expression editor" (Controls ->
Expression editor) to define a new scalar variable for electron density.
<ye  > * dens * 6.022E23

Best,

Scott
