Hi all,
Does FLASH support 2.5D split hydro including a centrifugal force term?
The users' manual clearly explains that 2D cylindrical support is
available, and that the missing phi-coordinate implies that the solution
is integrated around the symmetry axis (z-axis; all variables are
independent of the phi-coordinate). But can one compute the velocity in
the phi-direction v_phi, in addition to v_r and v_z, to account for the
centrifugal forces in a system rotating around the z-axis? (obviously,
such-defined v_phi would be independent of phi as the system is
two-dimensional). Or is this something that still needs to be implemented?
Thanks,
Mateusz
