[FLASH-USERS] Thin targets in LaserSlab

[Graeme Scott - UKRI STFC]

Hi,


I'm working on the LaserSlab example and was interested in reducing the target thickness down to a few hundreds of nanometres. It seems that even when I increase the AMR to resolve tens of nanometres, that the target can only get as thin as about ~5 um, and when I try to make it thinner than this it disappears completely. I wondered if there's some configuration setting that's in the setup that's preventing me from getting thinner than this?


I have had a look around and all the parameters relating to the target parameters seem to be defined as 'real', and in the .par file I'm using scientific notation to define the values, so it shouldn't be any kind of rounding error. Any help would be very much appreciated.


Many thanks,

Graeme
