v12 v13 54 54 55 55 '''Choice of Algorithm'''[[BR]] 56 We implement Krumholz's (Krumholz et al 2006) sink particle algorithm apart from Federrath et al 2010. Basic difference between the two algorithms are listed below:[[BR]] 57 58 56 We implement Krumholz's (Krumholz et al 2006) sink particle algorithm apart from Federrath et al 2010. The differences in the two algorithms are summarized in the following papers:[[BR]] 57 http://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0312612v1.pdf 58 [[BR]] 59 http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.4456v2.pdf 60 [[BR]][[BR]] 59 61 Notice that the initial fraction of mass being put into the formed particle can heavily affect the particle behavior. If the initial removal of parcel mass is sufficiently small, it is possible to form a particle that cannot effectively accrete. This leads to immediate formation of another particle. If particle merging routine is not implemented, we can end up with many particle in a simulation where intuitively single particle makes more sense.
