[FLASH-USERS] value of Ye for single species runs

[John ZuHone]

My bad, I looked in the wrong directory. Ernesto is right. Sorry about that!

On the contrary, you might be taking into account thermal conduction twice, within the Diffuse unit and Hydro unit via hy_uhd_addThermalFluxes.F90

I suggested copying the Eos_getAbarZbar stub to the  simulation directory and changing it to set the quantities to whatever he needs, but as I am not familiar with this particular  diffusion module I think someone with more knowledge should comment  if this is the right way to go.

The runs have been working but the clouds are evaporating a bit faster than I  expected.  This led me to look into the implementation of flux limitation.  Looking at diff_advanceTherm there is a call to  Eos_getAbarZbar, which returns the value of Ye, but it's unclear what value will be returned for a single species run.  I have been  setting eos_singleSpeciesA and that seems to work as expected.  I  know in multispecies runs Ye = zbar/abar, so I wonder if its  1/abar.  Can anyone help me out on this?
