<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi all,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I'm still trying to get my SNR in magnetized medium simulation to work, but I decided to take a step back and see if the simplified example BlastBS would work in cylindrical symmetry. For that I needed to make a few small changes in Simulation_data, Simulation_init, Simulation_initBlock and Config wherein I needed to allow for a non-zero value for By0 in addition to Bx0 since in cylindrical symmetry (R-Z) we want the z component of the field to be non-zero and the r component to initially be zero (r maps to x, z maps to y). I accidentally used the 8-wave version of MHD the first time (forgot to specify +usm to setup) and it worked fine. When I used the USM version of MHD though, it started out okay but then ran into a negative computed dt:</div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Error message is [Hydro]: Computed dt is not positive! Aborting!</font><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I assume that that is because the temperature becomes negative somehow. Just before the error the printed dt_hydro suddenly drops. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Any suggestions for ways to avoid this? One possibility might be to set a higher value for smallp and./or smlrho, I guess.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Regards,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Jon</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">________________________________________________________<br>Jonathan D.
