<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks Scott. I thought it was ergs/g as the energies in FLASH calculated seemed to be all specific energies. So, I did multiply the energies by mass. Also, since it was a 2D domain, multiplication by mass was infact
mass per length. This is what I did. And I was wondering what length parameter should I use to get the total energy.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">One of the issue I had earlier was again about the units. Where do I look up in Flash to know what are the units for all the parameters being calculated?</p>

<div>Hi Nitish,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Welcome to laser-plasma simulations in FLASH! I just searched my emails and saw you sent the flash-users listserv some other questions in early January -- did you ever work through those issues?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For 2D cylindrical, my understanding is that ergs is the right unit -- that FLASH is already factoring in the 2D cylindrical geometry. Anyone else chime in if you know otherwise!</div>

<div>By the way, if you need to define a whole bunch of beams in your .par file (e.g. if you are modeling Omega), feel free to use my helper Python script:

<p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">I've been working on a Laser Driven simulation for a while now. It's a case similar to the LaserSlab simulation. From what I understand, the total energy deposition from Laser at any time instant should equal the
increase in total energy at that instant. I've this <span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols; font-size:16px"><b>lasslab_LaserEnergyProfile.dat
</b>file that has information about energy deposition <b><i>(in ergs</i></b>) at each time step. However, since it's a 2D cylindrical domain, the total energy I get from the simulation is
<b style="font-style:italic">in ergs per some length. </b>How do I take the azimuthal direction of the cylinder to account for the length factor to get the total energy? I Just wanted to look at the energy balance between total energy and laser deposition energy.</span></p>
