<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I've been doing runs with FLASH including electron thermal conduction. The results have been excellent. As a test I compared the temperature profile and mass loss rate predicted by the analytical steady evaporation model of Dalton & Balbus with that for a 2D (cylindrical symmetry) spherical cloud as calculated by FLASH and the match was very good.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Up until now, I have not included the magnetic field. To do so would require altering the conductivity such that it is very small (effectively zero) perpendicular to the field lines. Has anyone implemented this anisotropic thermal conduction in FLASH? I know that several years ago Orlando published results with that done, but I believe that was for an older version of FLASH and that bit seems not to have been implemented in the current version (4.3). I feel like it wouldn't necessarily be very difficult, but if someone has a working version, it would certainly save me some time and effort.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Jon</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">________________________________________________________<br>Jonathan D.
