Meeting Update 02/21/2012 - Eddie

I have been studying the resolution dependencies on the cooling routines. It seems as though I need a lot of cells per cooling length in order to achieve post-shock temperatures close to analytic predictions. However, I never quite reach the post-shock temperature that I expect. So I don't know if I am still under-resolved. This seems unlikely, because the post-shock temperature appears to be converging on some value, just not the value I expect. Maybe I am missing a fundamental difference between cooling and not cooling that I haven't accounted for.

I have kept diligent notes on this for the past couple of weeks. You can see more details on the zcooling page. The bottom subsection titled 1D Jet Simulations might be moved to a more permanent project page in the future.
