[FLASH-USERS] [EXT] boundary conditions and refinement

[Ernesto Zurbriggen]

Hi Thibault!

>>For my case, the density gradients in the white frame are big enough to
be identify by the AMR
Refinement is mainly determined by gradients and not by values, as exposed
by eq. 8.1 in user manual.

Play with "refine_cutoff" and "derefine_cutoff" is much easier than
properly set the “Grid_markRefineSpecialized” routine.

>>if *refine_var_1 = "dens"*, I tried *refine_cutoff_1 =1e-5* to blunder
the AMR for densities below 1e-5 g/cc but I >>haven't noticed any

Default refine_cutoff value is 0.8. For smaller values you are saying
PARAMESH to be more sensible to refine.
I think you may want to set a larger value than default 0.8.

Derefine_cutoff default value is 0.2. For larger values PARAMESH is more
sensible to derefine.
So here you may also want to set larger values than 0.2.

Best regards!
Ernesto.
