[FLASH-USERS] Two sedov explosions

[Suoqing Ji]

Hi Ian,

I can see what you mean. I’m not sure what’re the profiles which you would like to implement, but I agree that the evolved status should not be changed except for adding a hot spot in internal energy. If you want to add some profiles for the second explosion, I might suggest to implement these profiles in Simulation_initBlock, and only do ignition for the second explosion here. This question really depends on what kind of physical problem you want to simulate.

In addition, I agree with Jon that the timestep requires some special treatment.

Best wishes,

And then in Simulation_adjustEvolution, you set a trigger to start the second explosion (say, when simtime >= 2nd_explosion_time and 2nd_exploded = .false., trigger the second explosion, and then mark the flag “2nd_exploded” as .true. to make sure it’s triggered only once).
