Update on BE problem

  • The initialization of the Bonner Ebert sphere looks as expected.
  • Decreasing the thermal energy in the grid leads to collapse.
  • Reading the Federrath et al. paper on sink particle implementation now. One of the tests they did was the collapse of a singular isothermal sphere (this is cool). They found the collapse to match Shu's solution, and the accretion rate of material onto the sink also matched Shu's solution for M-dot.
  • Would like to finish up this summer's numerical study of the collapse of the BE sphere by relaxing the sinks criteria so as to form a sink during the collapse.
