3D pulsed jets appear to be working!

So it was a long and annoying task, but Jonathan and I finally got it working. Most of the changes I had made to my module to go from 2.5D to 3D were correct. The two biggest changes that were made today which appeared to make it work were:

  1. Doubling the problem domain. Now simulating half the jet instead of a quarter.
  2. Switched interpolation order from 3 to 2.

Jonathan suspects there might be a bug in the 3rd order interpolation scheme which caused assymetries in the z-direction in my simulations. I'm going to run a couple more tests and post a ticket on this.

Here is a low resolution movie of the H-alpha and [S II] emission map from a beta = 5 run.
