     7Below are a series of simple line plots for particular energies over time in our colliding flows runs (all beta = 0, for varying shear angles (0 (No Shear), 15, 30, and 60). The energies we are plotting are defined below. The independent variable on these plots is the time in Myr for the ratio of the energy at a particular time over the initial energy at t = 0 Myr. Hence we see that each plot is normalized at 1 on the dependent axis. Here I will describe the process of how we acquired these plots.

    310The equations used to define these quantities are the following:
     
    2936* All $B_{i}$ are the cartesian components of the 3-dimensional magnetic field vector

     38Firstly note that each run has different box sizes. We have "small box" and a "large box" runs. The shear 0 and 15 data sets have a small box size, i.e. (x, y, z) = (62.5, 75 75), where as 30 and 60 have a larger box, i.e. (x, y, z) = (200, 75, 75). We have chosen these parameters given the size of the collision is dependent on the size of the shear angle.

     40We want to be able to extract the energies in the collision region, so we need to "clip" the HDF5 file in VisIt that contains our data. We use this using the ''box operator'' on our data. The clipped box should be 40 pc in y and z to fulling encompass the cylindrical collision region. However since our box varies in x, we need to clip the box differently for each run. For shear 0 and 15 we clipped the simulation box for 20 pc. On the other hand we clipped the shear 30 case by 24 pc, and shear 60 for 70 pc. To do this you take the length of one of the parameters of the box, half it, and then consider that maximum and minimum using the box operator.

     42To pick up the values for the energies simply create expressions for them (see above) in VisIt. Then go to Query > Weighted Variable Query. Then you can find the value for particular times. Here we sampled each run for the following frames: 0, 101, 202, 273 (and 328 for shear 60).
