[FLASH-USERS] FLASH 4.0 and 2.5 d geometry

Hello,
I have previously used FLASH 3.1 and 3.2, but these versions didn't have
2.5 d properly implemented. In particular, the v_phi component in a r-z
(cylindrical) geometry didn't conserve angular momentum as it was being
advected (along the r direction). Has this been resolved in flash 4? I
wouldn't have thought so, but a quick glance at the flash 4
documentation reveals that the magnetic accretion torus test problem
(which demands angular momentum conservation) to get the MRI or so I
would think.
So has FLASH 4 implemented conservation of angular momentum for the
v_phi component in cylindrical geometry? Or does it do it only for a
limited number of solvers?
Thanks,
Phil
