Simulation Logs: Record__DivB

This file records the numerical errors of the divergence-free constraint on the magnetic field. The relative error is defined as Δξ_l|∇⋅B|/<|B|>, where B is the face-centered magnetic field of a cell and Δξ_l is the cell width along ξ on level l.

Example:

# Tolerated Error: 9.9999997e-06

Table format:

• Time: physical time
• Step: number of root-level updates
• AveError: average (L2-norm) error of all leaf cells
• MaxError: maximum error among all leaf cells
• FailedCells: number of cells exceeding the Tolerated Error specified on the top of this file

Caution

Errors should be on the order of machine precision but may accumulate with time.
