FLASH3 Transition: The set of implementations of the material properties units provided with FLASH is not comprehensive. For Heat Conductivity and Viscosity, we provide implementations for effects with constant coefficients; these can be used as models for implementing effects that follow other laws. For MassDiffusivity, only no-operation stubs are provided. A routine that calculates constant magnetic resistivity and viscosity is provided in the MagneticResistivity unit and can be used in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics simulations. Several add-on capabilities are being made available to the users from the Download Page on Flash Website.
