I don't recall off the top of my head if I needed to do anything special to make it work. You do need to get the cooling function data files, though a little googling will get you to Ralph Sutherland's site where they can be downloaded. And you'll have to supply certain parameters in your flash.par including the path to the data file (as cool_fctn_file) and useCool = .true. Also you'll need to supply the correct switch to setup:</div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">-unit=physics/sourceTerms/Cool/CoolMain/SutherlandDopita</font><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I think that's all.

You should get the collection<br>
<br>
FLASH4.2.2_supplementary_<wbr>units.tar.gz<br>
<br>
available from the code support page at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://flash.uchicago.edu/site/flashcode/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://flash.uchicago.edu/<wbr>site/flashcode/</a><br>
<br>
(You should find a link there under DOWNLOADS).<br>
<br>
You will find several implementations of CoolMain in there. I believe<br>
these are implementations that were ported from FLASH2 to FLASH3 at some<br>
point in time, and have had some minor updates for FLASH4, but have not<br>
been used or tested (at least at the Flash Center) since then.<br>
