Meeting Update 02/07/2012 - Eddie

My 1D Jet simulation now runs literally in 1D with Jonathan's recent 1D implementation. This makes the simulations much faster ~1 minute on alfalfa. I have run the simulations with the new cooling routines both with and without magnetic fields. I'm now working on getting the emission maps for H-alpha and SII. However, the emission routines in bear2fix are proving to be more troublesome than we initially thought.

I get results for H-alpha that look ok. I'm not sure if these are exactly right, but at a glance they make some sense. I am not getting anything for SII. So far I have traced the problem all the way back to how it calculates the temperature. It seems that some of the chombo information is not being read in properly. This is likely due to the chombo being in 2D, but the simulation and many of the arrays being allocated for 1D. Or there is some other bug that I can't locate. All I know for sure at this point is that TempScale is wrong. I have set TempScale to be 1000, but bear2fix thinks it is some crazy number ~10-4. This makes input temperatures way too low to get any emission from anything.
