Hi, Michel:
Thank you!
I used the tabulated EOS provided by FLASH center in my simulation. If the problem comes from EOS, should I change the EOS?
Best regards,
Wenyi

I am not fully familiar with Flash but very often this kind of problem comes from your equation of state....try to check it.
Hoping that helps you
Michel

Dear all:

I am using FLASH to simulate the magnetohydrodynamics in  laser generated plasmas. However, I always encounter a problem of negative internal energy both in FLASH 4.5 and FLASH4.6. Does anyone encounter such a similar problem?  The error information in the Log file is as follows:

[ 04-16-2019  22:00:17.496 ]   Falling back to using internal energy ratios instead of pressure ratios

I have tried many different RiemannSolvers. It does not help. I guess that this problem is related to the grid size, but I am not sure.

Can anyone provide a solution to this problem? Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Wenyi Huo
