2D, Low Resolution Simulations

Here is the problem.data for these simulations:

&ProblemData
spacing=.2           ! Lattice constant
thickness=0.01        ! Radius of wire: 0.01, 0.03, 0.06
beta=10             ! magnetic beta: 0.1, 10
mach=20              ! mach number: 3, 20
screen_x=.25         ! location of screen in x
rho_wire=1000d0       ! peak density of screen
rho_wind=1d0     ! density of wind
rho_amb=.01          ! ambient density
/

Note that the values of thickness, beta, and mach, are listed in the comment. Thus we have a total if 8 simulations.

Here is a copy of the space parameters in the global.data:

In summary we have 8 2D simulations with 1 level of AMR with periodic boundary conditions. We expect the simulation box to be very long and thin. MHD is turned on.
