A few wiki documentation things to sort out

  • Instructions for installing AstroBEAR discuss using mercurial but don't mention where to check out the official 'repo' – which would of course only work for local folks anyways…
  • AstroBearStandardOut needs to be updated to describe elliptic time usage. It would be helpful to also show some common errors that are seen.
  • ModulesOnAstroBear
    • does not discuss the ProblemBeforeGlobalStep subroutine
    • Simulation data section should not encourage the use of numerical indices for things like px, or Energy as these will be dependent on equation of state, lMHD, nTracers, etc…
    • Dimensions section should be updated since 1D problems are possible
    • Dimensions section should also encourage the use of CellPos function to get (x,y,z from i,j,k)
    • Units and scaling section should mention scales.data file that is dumped by code
    • Also worth mentioning that value of info%q should technically be average of physical solution over cell… Motivation for sub-cycling/smoothing etc…
    • Also perhaps setting up a clump would be a good example - since you could then show how to rewrite the problem module using the ambient and clumps objects.
    • Units and scaling section should not encourage the changing of physical scales
    • Initializing a Grid says that each infodef has a %dx which is not true
    • Initializing a grid has an incorrect expression for the number of ghost zones
    • Flagging cells for refinement implies that the errflag array extends into ghost zones – which it doesn't
    • AdditionalPhysics should probably be a separate page
    • AdditionalPhysics says that MaintainAuxArrays needs to be set to true which is no longer correct
    • AdditionalPhysics should discuss equation of state options as well.
    • Aux fields only need to be initialized if lMaintainAuxArrays is true (in 1D MHD it is false)
    • Also an example that shows how to calculate the location of aux field entries would be good – as well as an example showing how to initialize a divergence free auxfield using a vector potential.
    • It would be nice to stop storing the Cooling Objects in the chombo file – which would simplify the problem module.
    • Not sure if selfgravity still has a problem with a uniform density field… this should be checked – and it would only be a problem with peridiodic BC's for the potential – also a discussion (or link to a discussion) about what needs to bet set in global.data for self-gravity to work.
    • I believe you can have sink particles without self-gravity (ie just point gravity)
    • This should also be updated with viscosity/resistivity/thermal conduction stuff…
  • AstroBearObjects
    • Disks need to be added to Initial conditions documentation
    • VectorPerturbations needs to be added to the Sub-Objects and documented
    • All of the individual object pages need to be (created) or updated to reflect changes made by Ivan and others
  • ScramblerIntro
    • Need to decide what to do about refinement objects etc…
    • How to setup a properly posed problem should probably be linked from somewhere else…
  • DataFileTutorial
    • io.data, communication.data, modules.data, and process.data are depracated
  • Data File Tutorials should be moved inside of ScramblerIntro and the 'Getting Started with AstroBEAR' should be renamed to 'AstroBEAR user's guide' or something… and linked below the Download link on the main wiki page.
  • Then Tutorials will have information on things besides AstroBEAR - though the visit tutorial could be linked from the visualization page.
  • The link to Code on the main wiki page is essentially a link to a developers guide
  • Meeting pages are depracated
  • Collaborators & Projects, Publications, and Image Gallery probably don't belong under 'NewUsers'
