My Library

Here I have been collecting the important literature relative to my research. Most of these papers are about or related to radiative, magnetized jets and shocks. I will also include notes/summary for each paper.


Mach Stems

Following work done by Kris, I have been studying the formation of mach stems from interacting bow shocks.


3D Cooling Jets

Using Martin's CRL618 jet module, I have been testing 3D jets with different cooling strengths.


1D Radiative Shocks

This is the problem of setting up a semi-analytic solution for a steady, 1D, radiative shock. It was mainly used to test the implementation of NEQ and Z cooling.


1D Pulsed Jets

This is a problem that I attempted last fall (2011). The idea was to create a pulsed jet and look at the emission behind the shocks within the jet. This project was somewhat abandoned, and replaced by the 1D radiative shock project.


Z Cooling

The 5th type of cooling implemented in astrobear. This includes forbidden line emission, and uses Pat Hartigan's tables.


Non-equilibrium Cooling

The 4th type of cooling implemented in astrobear. This includes effects of ionization and recombination.


Building a 1D Hydro Code

The best way to learn how to write a hydro code is to build your own. I've created a separate page on the wiki to document the important aspects of fluid dynamics and numerical methods as I learn how to build my own 1D hydro code.


Rayleigh-Taylor Instability

The RT Instability…a dense fluid sitting on top of a light fluid. When slightly perturbed the light fluid rises upwards, and the heavy fluid sinks downwards. This page contains more details on the problem analysis and simulations.


Field Loop Advection

My very first simulation. I had just joined the group, and this was from when I was first learning how to compile and run AstroBEAR.
