configure.py options

• Must enable
  • --model=HYDRO
• Must disable
  • --comoving
  • --particle
  • --gravity
• Available options
  • Miscellaneous Options

Default setup

• Refinement criteria: vorticity and regions near the shear plane
• Maximum refinement level (MAX_LEVEL)=3

Note

• Adopt the periodic boundary condition
• Shear velocity is defined on the x-y plane
• Random values are added to velocity in all three directions
• yt script plot_density.py for visualization
• Must disable OPT__INIT_GRID_WITH_OMP
  • Otherwise all threads would share the same random seed
