[FLASH-USERS] Adding a Collision term to the momentum equation in the USM solver

Dear FLASH-Users,
I am currently working on an MHD-problem where I want to simulate a
cloud of neutral gas which is embedded in a plasma.
The Setup is quite simple:
The cloud is located in the middle of a cartesian 3D domain as an
obstacle for the plasma. The interactions are described by a Collision
frequency nu.
The simplest way to realise this would be by adding the term - nu * v *
rho into the Equation of Motion.
Currently I am struggling with the issue that FLASH does not run this
problem.
As soon as everything is compiled and I want to run the simulation the
Error of a negative dt occurs in the Hydro-Unit.
I have defined the initial setup in my Simulation_initBlock.F90 with a
Scratch-Variable for the Collision frequency.
Then I have added the Collision-term in the file
hy_uhd_getRiemannState.F90 in a similar fashion as the Gravity is
implemented.
I don't know what could be wrong with it, although I guess that my
changes in the USM-Solver are not right.
I would be very happy if anyone is able to help me!
Best regards
Christian
