Update 9/5

Since my last post, I have done the following

I have done a sequence of runs varying beta (the power of temperature dependence) for the one dimensional problem. The values of beta (in order) are -1.0, -0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0. I also ran -2.0 but decided not to analyse it yet since -1.0 and -0.5 were similar.

I have done another reading of "Numerical Analysis of the Dynamic Stability of Radiative Shocks" (Strickland and Blondin 1995) I also did my first reading of "The structure of knots in variable stellar jets - I. Symmetric knots" (Falle and Raga 1993)

Lastly, I did a few more runs in the 3D Jet collision problem. First, I did a sequence of runs in which the Jets are (anti)parallel but not aligned, with the offset decreasing with each successive run. As I expected, a portion of each jet continues to propagate forward relatively unaltered by the collision. If the separation is not to great, another portion moves diagonally having been shaped by the collision; The angle at which this portion moves however did not depend as significantly as I had expected on the separation between the beams

A final run returns the jets to axial alignment, but makes one jet significantly hotter than the other
