1. Parameters

Check blog:afrank04152015 for details

Hot Jupiter

M_{p} = M_j

R_{p} = R_j

n_{p} = m_h

T_{p0} = 10^4

Stellar Wind

V_{s} = 100 km/s

Other parameters.

Resolution: 60 zone/planet radius -check

Allow planetary wind to fill grid for 2 of its own crossing times ( L_grid/V_pw(max) ) then turn on stellar wind and let it run for 10 crossing times ( L_grid/V_s )

2. Check lambda — no stellar wind

Rp=Outflow radius + thickness !! where the radius defines the location of boundary and thickness for wrapping up the velocity

ns/np=1e-4 gamma = 1.01;
