Mach Stems
Stationary Clumps
This problem set up has bow shocks from two identical, stationary clumps. I test different gammas and different separation distances. To reduce computation, I am only using one clump with a reflecting wall on the lower r boundary to simulate the second clump's bow shock. I also only simulate ¼ of the clump due to symmetry. In the context of this problem, critical separation distance is equivalent to 2 times the critical radius.
Thinking in terms of critical radius versus critical angle can get confusing. Traditionally, we think of mach stem formation in terms of critical angle. Anything above this angle means a mach stem will form. The critical angle corresponds to a critical radius, but now we must remember that anything below this radius means a mach stem will form.
Below is a table of the resolutions used for all of the runs. These were determined by keeping the proportions of the domain constant and shooting for a minimum of 32 cells per clump radius. As a result of doing it this way, some runs will have higher resolution, but it basically stays between 32 and 38 cells per clump radius. For the 'lower r boundary' column, crit = critical, acrit = above critical, bcrit = below critical. Mach stems should form at crit and bcrit, but not at acrit.
