SCHEME
- implement Flux-CT scheme for the staggered magnetic field
integration;
BLOCK STRUCTURE
- use more space efficient storage of the variables, which means
storing only staggered components of magnetic field; cell-centered
components are calculated only when necessary;
EVOLUTION
- remove loops in the field updates; operations are performed on the
arrays;
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
- remove loops in the bnd_copy; operations are calculated on the whole
array now;
INTERPOLATION
- subroutine magtocen() has been rewritten to avoid problems with the
array allocation; now as an argument we enter the array of all
variables; subroutine uses indices for the face-centered and
cell-centered magnetic field components internally;
MAKE
- add flag defining Flux-CT scheme;
PROBLEM
- use predefined array variables instead of allocated;
Rewritten boundaries allow for a proper handling boundaries between
blocks at different refinement levels. Prolongation and restriction of
the boundaries are improved now.
Rewritten interpolation for prolongation and restriction.
References to the variable indices are assigned more properly.
VARIABLES
- add indices for the magnetic field components, both face and cell
centered
SOLVER, MHD
- add support for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations to the
subroutines cons2prim(), prim2cons()
- add MHD flux and the fastest speed calculation in the subroutine
fluxspeed()
- include magnetosonic speed in the calculation of the maximum speed in
the system required for estimation of the new time step
- extend the HLL solver in subroutine hll() to support MHD
- calculate the magnetic field update according to a CT scheme in the
subroutine update()
INTERPOLATION
- add subroutine magtocen() to interpolate cell centered magnetic field
EVOLUTION
- add evolution of the magnetic field components in the evolve_euler()
and evolve_rk2() time integration subroutines
- also call the subroutine magtocen() in the right places
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
- support for magnetic field boundary update only in the case of blocks
with the same level so far; later we need to include proper
restriction and prolongation for the magnetic field to keep its
divergence equal zero
PROBLEMS, BLAST
- extend the blast problem to include the initial magnetic field
IO, HDF5
- write down in a HDF5 file magnetic field components
The generation of dx, dy, dz for each level didn't include the base
grid, i.e. they were 2 times larger. Now it is fixed. Also plenty of
minor corrections in different places.
The function to calculate the maximum speed in the block has been added.
This function is used to determine the maximum speed globally, which is
next used to estimate the next time step.
This new module contains subroutines used to different kind of
interpolation. So far it is implemented only one subroutine used for
reconstruction of the left and right states from center values. This
interpolation has TVD property.
Two subroutines, cons2prim and prim2cons, to convert between
conservative and primitive variables have been added.
New parameters, gammam1 and gammam1i have been added to the
configuration file. Both are derivation of gamma, first is gamma-1, the
secons 1/(gamma-1).
This subroutine calculates fluxes and speeds for hydrodynamic case only.
Adiabatic and isothermal equations of state are supported. I also added
new parameters, gamma and csnd to the config module.
We compute dFdx contribution along each direction and update total dU.
Apart from that I've added generation of coordinate variables, like dx,
dxi, etc. in the mesh module. The next step is to implement the HLL
solver.
This new module contains subroutines to calculate state vector update
using an approximate Riemann solver. The initial version contains only
a draft subroutine calculating the state vector increment dU.
