The reason for subtracting the bulk momentum is that we normally use continuous turbulence driving in periodic box simulations, such that the gas remains in the zero-momentum rest frame. It is usually a tiny correction, so switching this off mostly likely wouldn’t matter, but I chose to do it to make the momentum perfectly zero in x, y, z. If you have a different application in mind that would require you to keep the momentum, I’d be happy to chat further or make this a user parameter, for instance. Btw: the most recent TurbGen code is available here (which includes some extra features, such as automatic amplitude adjustment, etc.):</div><div><div style="display: block;"><div class="apple-rich-link" style="display: inline-block;"><a class="lp-rich-link" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~chfeder/codes/turbgen/turbgen.html" dir="ltr" width="300" style="border-radius: 10px; display: block; width: 300px; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;"><table class="lp-rich-link-emailBaseTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300" style="table-layout: fixed; border-collapse: collapse; width: 300px; background-color: rgb(229, 230, 233);"><tbody><tr><td><table bgcolor="#E5E6E9" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar" style="table-layout: fixed;"><tbody><tr><td class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStackItem" style="padding: 8px 0px;"><div class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0px 16px; overflow: hidden;"><div class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-topCaption-leading" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: 500; font-size: 12px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-align: left;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~chfeder/codes/turbgen/turbgen.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><font color="#272727">Federrath - Codes</font></a></div><div class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-bottomCaption-leading" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: 400; font-size: 11px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-align: left;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~chfeder/codes/turbgen/turbgen.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><font color="#808080">mso.anu.edu.au</font></a></div></div></td><td class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIconItem" width="36" style="padding: 6px 12px 6px 0px;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~chfeder/codes/turbgen/turbgen.html"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Christoph</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 11px;"><i>—</i></span></div><div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-break: after-white-space;"><font color="#696567" style="font-size: 11px;"><b><i><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Professor </span></span></span>Christoph Federrath</i></b></font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-break: after-white-space;"><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;"><i><font color="#696567">Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics</font></i></span></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-break: after-white-space;"><font color="#696567"><span style="margin: 0px;"><i><span style="font-size: 11px; margin: 0px;">Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia</span><br><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;"><i>Tel: </i></span></i></span><a href="tel:+61-2-6125-0217" style="font-size: 11px;"><i>+61-2-6125-0217</i></a></font></div></div><div><div style="line-break: after-white-space;"><div><span style="font-size: 11px;"><i><font color="#696567">Web: <a href="https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~chfeder">https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~chfeder</a></font></i></span></div></div></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 13 May 2024, at 10:08 PM, Alam Shadab TU Ilmenau <shadab.alam@tu-ilmenau.de> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols;"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Hi,</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br></div><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"></p><span>I have a query about why the 'momentum/mass' is subtracted during the velocity update in the forcing unit.
